It was with some guilt that I totally ignored my blog for the past week! But, hey, who has time to blog when they are traveling 7 hours, spending their first day of vaca sick, going to FIVE Christmas parties/events and going back home again? Not me!
Our Christmas break in a nutshell:
~Had a hard time shaking the leftovers of my flu and spent last Thursday feeling really crummy:( But thankfully felt great the rest of the trip!
~Thankful that no one else in my family got the flu esp after being exposed a second time by my sister's family (who, very sadly, ALL came down with the flu on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day)
~Had Christmas parties on Friday, 2 on Saturday, 1 on Sunday and 1 on Monday! Whew!
~Eliana started sleeping FANTASTICALLY after a crappy day on Thursday. She slept between 6-7 hours a night the last 4 nights! Andmayormaynothavedonethatinhercarseat3times....ahem. I'm hoping she'll keep going with this!
~Ate lots of yummy food. Lots. Yummy.
~Made snowman cookies with my mom that were not only cute but very good!
~Had a girls' day out on Monday that consisted of a trip to my very favorite accessories store, Charming Charlie's, and lunch at the Cheesecake Factory (minus the cheesecake) and a quick run to Auntie Ann's with my sis. It was Eliana's first girl's day:)
~Enjoyed 2 days meeting my mom's new Basset Hound Puppy, Winston Oliver Stanley DeLeon I:) Almost makes me want a puppy! (until I remember that I have 3 puppies of my very own...)
~Was blessed with 4 brand new tires for our van, plus a car wash and a full tank of gas!! Many, many heartfelt thank you's to my MIL and Ben's grandma!! Our van is very happy.
~Did not take nearly as many pictures as I wanted to because I was too busy to remember to pull out my camera!
~I am now the proud new owner of a very pink and very girly wii controller:) haha. Ben surprised me with the remote and a new wii game for Christmas!
~Left yesterday and had a very uneventful trip home (yea!) and am now surrounded by tons and tons of stuff to unpack and organize. Better get busy!! Pictures to come soon!
I'm feeling the same way - overwhelmed by all of the unpacking and organizing that needs done. I think I'll just go to bed and hope that Scott gets to it tomorrow while I'm at work. Hehe :)
ReplyDeleteMissed you guys tremendously. We had a nice Christmas though. It was good to snuggle with our sweet nephews for a few days. (We hadn't seen them in almost a year)
