Oh our CRAZY HOLIDAYS!

Ok, so the posts are a bit backwards but, oh well....I have too many things to do then dwell on that! It's really just easier if I use a timeline format! Dec. 20 - Ashley's school party (which worked out great because she had to miss her last day 12/21 due to IVIG)...she got all kinds of little gifts and had a fun class party! She took a 2 hour nap that day...... Dec. 21 - Ashley get's a visit from Santa at Children's Hospital which we incorporate into our Yule celebration that evening and is loaded down w/gifts! Bratz, Cabbage Patch doll, all kinds of Princess games and craft kits, etc....Plus some grocery gift certificates for dear old Mama and Papa Witch! All donated by a wonderful local company! It was amazing...... Dec.22 - We celebrated w/ my mother, stepfather and brother at my mom's house. We had great fun, AWESOME food, and Ashley got all 6 Highschool Musical Dolls so she was wound up tighter than a wire for the rest of the night :) We had a nice visit and enjoyed viewing Dennis's homemade arcade - I can't even desacribe it - it is so amazing, he has games and systems that date back to the 70's! It is truly a gamers paradise :) Dec. 23 - We celebrated with Papa Witch's family and again, enjoyed great food, GREAT company and a happy wound up Shih Tzu! It was a fun night and it felt great to have just about everyone there - except for poor Joe who got syuck working late at his job at the Galleria Mall :( Again, we were spoiled rotten (and I hope those we gave gifts to felt the same...) and had a blast! Jim will finally get his RED ROBIN cheeseburger! Dec. 24th - Jim had to work so Ashley and I hunkered down, watched TBS 24 hours of a Christmas Story and Daddy let her open a "special gift"...a Hannah Montana microphone! It went great with the Hannah Montana wig she got from Jim's family the previous night - adorable pics.! Dec. 25th - We celebrated Christmas morning here and then headed off to Jim's grandparents were EVERYONE was for an early brunch as Jim had to work again - it was such fun for all! My mother in law got some fantastic pictures....Of course my camera crapped out! So...that was our Holiday - it was fantastic! I am, still recouping and making up for lost sleep but boy, was it nice! I think our donated "Fiesta Tree" set the whole tone for the Holiday! Myspace Graphics
