Very Creative and fun post to read. I can relate 100%.
Ha! I love it.
I totally got a nap Christmas day. It was fabulous. I'm taking down the tree right now...it was fun while it lasted but getting it down is a breath of fresh air!
A Ho Ho Ho and a great big HA HA HA!!! You make me laugh!!!!
that is great! I love reading your blogs. my husband is the only one you would find sleeping randomly about the house also...
Best Christmas post out there. I can't figure out how to do mine...too overwhelmed. I will just send people your way...oh, wait I just did.
Blogging is SO much easier (which is good and bad) on a laptop!
Can you see how green I am? I NEED a laptop. My husband says I have trouble discerning wants from needs but I do. I NEED one. Let me know how it is. Rub it in a little.
I want a laptop BAD. Oh and I love cinnimon (is that spelled wrong? It's early) bears too. My favorite pic is your son plugging his ears. SOOO FUNNY!
I have loud toys I wish I wouldn't have bought too.
Celine and laundry... always yuck!
The Husband always gets a nap, even though I'm the one who hasn't had more than two hours of sleep each night for a week!
Noisy toys... not allowed around here! Not since Grandma and Grandpa gave The Boy a musical train without volume control for one of his first Christmas'. Yikes!
Tried my nephew's Wii last night. I may have to put it on our list for next year!
Lists... what a great idea for documenting the chaos that is Christmas! Glad yours was happy... here's to a peaceful New Year!
A wholehearted "yes, me too" here. What a great post. Have fun taking down the tree. I do love the January simplicity after the lushness of Christmas. Happy new year!
There were always several toys that Santa came back for on Christmas night. The Tuneyville Choo-Choo, the Snoopy Snow Cone "Sheen," the Easy Bake Oven are just a few items that disappeared. All part of the magic of Christmas!
sounds like my Christmas. I still don't know how a certain someone manages to get naps every holiday and weekend when I clearly am the person that earns them...
Just found your blog through Crystal's and since I love lists of all kinds I was most impressed with this post! Great wrap-up.
