It was a busy few days leading up to Christmas and on Christmas eve we did a ton of cooking and cleaning and then we went to the Brown's. It was really hard hanging out with the girls and not giving away their Christmas present but we managed. Cammie had slept all the way there and stayed awake all the way home. We got home around 830 and she then stayed up until 11. Then we were in a rush to get the tree decorated and her doll nursery together. The tree that we got (artificial) wasn't nearly big enough so I only put out less than half our decorations. Duly noted for next year. I couldn't fall asleep after all the excitement and was up til probably 3. Then Cammie woke up 630!! We managed to keep her in bed until 7. She was so excited when she saw the tree and she couldn't wait to start ripping into her presents! My Mom and Dad came over and so did Uncle Gary and Uncle Michael. Cammie liked showing off all her loot. Bill, Donna and Andrew came over for breakfast too. Once we all got dressed we went to Donna and Bill's. Cammie had more fun opening her gifts and helping whoever would let her open theirs too. She also let Donna put her in Christmas dress and was very happy as long as everyone told her how beautiful she looked. She couldn't wait to show Paul and Daniel. Luckily she had changed back into her play clothes when Kristen pushed her into the dogs water dish (just kidding I know she "fell"). Then luckily Donna had gotten her a new outfit because she was soaked. After eating a bunch we headed back home to get ready for everyone to come over to our house. Alice, Mike, Matthew, Emily, Edd, Donna, Bill, Daniel, Kristen, Mary, Bill, Zack, Theresa, Nick, Laura, Julie and Nicholas all came over and hung out with us. We had lots of fun and ate more food. Cammie was showing off all her stuff to whoever would pay attention to her. We had a great day!
Sunday I was so tired, Joe thought he might get called for OT but he didn't so I went shopping with Donna and Andrew. We met Kristen at Target, and then we went to Hallmark and Michaels. It wasn't as bad as I had feared it would be. I got a ton of stuff on sale and then came home for a nap. Joe did go to work today, it is crazy windy again and it drives the dogs crazy and they start barking which drives me crazy so it's been a long day. I also spent over two hours putting together Cammie's new barn. I think it would have been easier to build a real barn. So anyway, she couldn't wait to play with it and kept tossing animals in while I was building (and swearing). As soon as I finished and set it up she went over to it and hasn't even looked at it since. Grrrr.... Hopefully she will fall asleep soon because I am oh so ready for bed! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
