We had a wonderful Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve we went to the Longo party. There are so many people it’s crazy! It is really neat to see everyone growing up. I’m one of the eldest great grandkids, so seeing all the little ones as teenagers is really fun.
Christmas morning was a blast. However, I think Jillian was overwhelmed. She didn’t quite know what to do. She became fixated on the candy in her stocking which is not a good thing at 8 AM. Her favorite thing to play with was the wooden magnetic dress up dolls.
In the afternoon we wen’t over and spent some time with Adrian’s parents. Jillian gets so excited to go and see them. Olivia got a talking Elmo, which she loves!
Later in the day we had a very nice and mellow Christmas dinner at my Aunt Angie’s house. Jillian enjoyed decorating a Build-A-Bear box.
Boxing day was not the day I had anticipated it being. Adrian was lucky enough to receive an Xbox 360 from his parents, so naturally he had to find his games out in our playhouse/storage. It turned out to be a huge project! We ended up having to reorganize a lot of the boxes out there. We also found that the playhouse door was not keeping the water out so most of the boxes on the front side of the house are wet. We’ll have to invest in some plastic bins to keep our items safe from water. We also got rid of a lot of things sending them off to good will.
