Luci goes nutty for her new Supermarket and "Ipod", while Drew got a new Webkinz horse, a Hannah Montana styling head and some cool new make-up!
Hannah reveals a gift certificate for American Girl stuff! I think she was pretty happy about it!
Fast forward to last night, Christmas Eve. As per our usual routine, we headed over to Dean's parent's house for dinner and gifts. Below we see all four Chinese cutie patooties sitting nicely with some gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.
And again posing with t-shirts advertising the school where Grandma works as a first grade teacher! L to R, Max,3, Luci,4, Sonja,4, and Drew,6.
Dean unfortunately came home from work with a stiff neck...insert your choice of joke here...and so fell asleep in the chair while under the influence of a prescription muscle relaxer. No I did NOT pose him like this on purpose!!
Back home, I took some "BEFORE" shots of loot they had yet to open!
They each got a pink Plasma car from Santa and Luci got a stick pony and Drew got an mp3 player from him as well.
Last night was not my favorite night of the year and here's why...the fates were definitely against me! So the girls went to bed at around 8:30pm after we arrived home from Grandma and Grandpa's house. They were actually very eager to go to bed as they wanted Santa to come soon! So once they were neatly tucked in after a story of "Twas the Night Before Christmas", I started working on the Santa gifts. I put together the Plasma cars and set everything up, drank some milk and ate some cookies and cheese, sure hope Santa didn't mind! I stuffed their stockings and headed upstairs to bed. As I'm walking up the stairs, I hear Drew coughing and sputtering in her bed. Crap! Gotta wait a little while longer before I place their stockings on their beds for them to find in the morning. No big deal, I usually watch a little tv before nodding off anyway. Not helping the situation was the wind storm going on outside. The rear door jamb in our new bedroom at the back of the house has been wrapped with Tyvek but has not been insulated, so the Tyvek acts like a reed when the wind blows across it and makes a lovely and very loud buzzing noise everytime it gusted! At about 1am, all was quiet in the girls' room, so I tiptoed in and put Drew's stocking on her bed (she has the upper bunk). The layout of their bed is such that you can't see Luci in her bed until you round the corner. So I rounded the corner and noticed that she was moving in her bed. I crept a little closer to see if she was just moving in her sleep, but quickly realized she was actually awake! Thankfully, I don't think she saw me, so I hurried back to my room and decided to wait a little longer. (Meanwhile, Drew's stocking is now on her bed!) So at 1:30am, I decided to try again. Just as I threw the covers aside, Drew started up another coughing fit! Argh!! So I sat in bed and listened as she got up, went to the bathroom and then went back to bed where she discovered, what else...her stocking! I listened as she rummaged through it for a little while and then I heard her whisper loudly, "LUCI......LUUUUUUUCIIIIII"! I'm in bed screaming to myself..."NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!", but what could I do??? Thankfully, Luci was out cold and didn't respond! At this point, I am barely able to keep my eyes open, so I decide to set the alarm on my phone for 3:30am hoping against hope that they'll both be out! 3:30 comes and I drag my tired butt out of bed when Dean asks, "What ARE you doing???" I proceed to give him the quick version as I'm again tiptoeing into the girls' room. They were indeed asleep, I left the loot and ran back to bed as quickly as possible before I kicked something and woke them up again. I deposited myself back into bed where I was greeted with, "Hey, as long as you're up...." from Dean. I told him better luck next time (well, that's not EXACTLY what I said, but I'd rather keep this clean!). ANYWAY....at about 7:30 this morning, I was rudely awakened by the sound of my dad chopping up kindling in the basement. At first I thougth the girls had snuck downstairs before us, but they were actually still sleeping! Eventually they got up and we all throuroughly enjoyed Christmas! I will thouroughly enjoy going to bed EARLY tonight!
Even the dogs get into unwrapping gifts! It's pretty funny, actually!
Yeah, Like I couldn't NOT get them some skull clothing!
Two Lazy Girls in two Lazy-Boys! These were just two of the millions of presents the girls received from Meema!
And below we see the "AFTER" shots! It was total carnage!
Luci hugs a few of the Webkinz she got for Christmas. Between the two of them, they now have 13 Webkinz! They were a hit, but I'm sure I'LL be the one having to feed them online! Oh well, whatever makes them happy!
Hope your day was great! Merry Christmas!
