Christmas Eve:
We always have a party with the whole family Christmas Ev
e at my parents house. We have party food, eggnog (the real deal), & subs. We have a Christmas Carol Singalong - Aunt Linda plays Piano and we all sing along. We have a reading of the Christmas story and then its Bunko Time. Bunko is a very noisy game with our family everyone is shouting out things to make the dice roll they way they want them - like ENERGY or MONEY, RING THE BE
LL or DON'T RING THE BELL :-)
Christmas Morning with my Parents:
Ben at I go over to my Parents around 8am to see what Santa left us and Open presents from them. We usually have to go upstairs and come down so they can get a picture of us pretending like we live upstairs i guess - we didnt have to do it this year for the first time I think. Mind you Ben and I are both very sick - we both have stomach viruses - yuck! We opened presents and then headed upstairs to take a nap until time to be at our next Destination. Uncle Allen & Aunt Linda always come over for Breakfast (Breakfast Casserole, Homemade Biscuits, & Cinnamon Rolls). Sadly Ben and I could not partake.
Timmy & Keirsten:
We went over to Ben's ex-step dads house to give Timmy & Keirsten their Christmas presents. Timmy was getting an Ipod & a Portable DVD player for Christmas so we got him a DVD of the Mummy & an Itunes Gift Card. Timmy had to open his Ipod first so that the Itunes card would not give away the surprise. He was so excited it was like a Americans Funniest Home Video Clip. He went crazy screaming & shaking "I got an Ipod" over and over. It was so funny!
Grandmamas House:
We were supposed to be at Grandmama's House at 2pm for Christmas Lunch but after going to see Timmy & Keirsten we went home to take a nap and overslept. We woke up at 3pm and rushed there - they were still eating :-) We sat in the den while everyone finished up and then we played the White Elephant Game - I got 2 muffin tins and some muffin mix and Ben got a Gift Card to Best Buy. Everyone Opened their gifts from Grandmama and watched her open all her gifts. Then we got our stockings - which is always a favorite because there is always a check. I was starting to get a hunger headache so I figured I better eat something before I got a headache on top of the stomach virus. I had a banana, a roll, and a piece of turkey.
Grandmothers House:
We went to Grandmothers House to exchange gifts with her. She had made lots of snack foods - mini quiche, quesadilla, taquitas and custard pie. The only thing i thought I might be able to hold down was a piece of custard pie. Grandmother gave us a big basket of fruit and a check.
After our big day - we went home around 8pm and went to Bed.
