Christmas was great! I was in bed around 1:00am on Christmas morning (I would have gone to bed sooner, but I had to finish up some writing on good sam motorhome towing), and I was able to sleep until 8:30am, when Ryan woke up. I took a quick shower, woke up Dan, woke up Alyssa, and then Christmas commenced, first in our house, then at Dan’s maternal aunt’s house that afternoon, at a paternal aunt’s house that evening, and at a paternal uncle’s house yesterday evening.
The kids, of course, made out like bandits. We gave them six things each, including a Hello Kitty digital camera for Alyssa and a Leap Frog Bugsby for Ryan. From the aunts and uncles they received clothing (that makes me happy, even if they cast them aside in boredom and disgust!) and toys, and from Dan’s brothers they received Hello Kitty walkie-talkies and a huge Crayola easel that features a chalkboard on one side and a dry-erase board on the other.
Christmas has definitely worn us out… Ryan slept in until almost ELEVEN FREAKING AM today, and I’m sure Alyssa slept late as well (she’s spending the weekend with Dan’s aunt, uncle and sisters). As for me? I’m absolutely exhausted… bring on the sleeping in!
