Christmas 2009

I took all of Christmas week off this year.  Gil, Bug and I had the best week together!  The time off came just in time because I truly needed the break from work.  I got to relax, catch up on movies (rented about 10 movies overall), went on walks, got some shopping done, lots of playing with Lexi, got to experience being white trash (vowed I would never be one of those people who went to the grocery store in their pjs.  Sure enough I went wearing sweatpants, sweatshirt and slippers!  Granted it was 10pm, but still..unacceptable!), and best of all share Lexi’s first Christmas with her and the people we love most!  We had four different Xmas dinners….wheeww that was a lot of running around! 

 For next year, Gil and I have decided that we will be holding the Xmas celebration at our house because we aren’t wasting our day traveling between everyone’s houses when we have a daughter who is missing out on her Christmas.  Blah blah, yes going to those houses is “part of Christmas”, but we literally only got 30 minutes to have our “Christmas Morning” before we had to jet off!……Sigh….takiiinnnggg a deeeeeep breeeaaatthhh……  Don’t get me wrong, family!  We were happy to share the day with all of you, but you have no idea how exhausted we were!

Lexi got the concept of ripping presents open, right of the bat!  She almost had more fun opening the presents then seeing what was inside!  Bug is a lucky girl and got lots of fun toys!  Major plus on the rocking horse from Jake and Lindsey and talking Leap Frog Puppy from Jeffrey!!  Lexi is absolutely in LOVE with them!  She gives the biggest smile to the puppy every time it talks to her.  I dont’ know how Lexi learned to use a rocking horse, but sure enough as soon as she was put on it, she started rocking away!  Smart instincts!  Must get it from her Momma, haha.

Well the Christmas decorations are down and we are moving into the year 2010!  What a fast year!  I’m excited for what the next year has to bring (i.e. Bug turning 1, Evangeline turning 18 and graduating, us getting our first house, me becoming an at-home-mom, etc. etc.).  I hope everyone enjoys their Holidays and see you next year!

P.S.  Bug is going to be walking soon!!  She is already taking up to two steps by herself!  Any day now!
