It was fun, but glad its over

Christmas 2007 has come and gone. It was so much fun getting ready for it, buying gifts, decorating the house, wrapping all the presents, visiting with friends and family, but I am glad its over with. Christmas is always a stressful time for me. This year we had so much fun buying presents for Alex. She opened all her gifts all by herself. She is getting so big and so independent. It amazes me how much she already knows. We are working on counting to three. She can almost say each word clearly. She even knows what number comes after the other. She opened her cabbage patch doll and immediately started feeding the baby a bottle. I about cried. She picks up on everything so quickly and is growing up so quickly.

Christmas Eve day Doug and I exchanged presents. He bought me an absolutely beautiful chocolate diamond necklace, Victorias Secret PJs, Heavenly perfume and other wonderful gifts. I gave him a new pair of LUGZ boots, Usher Cologne, boxers, and other stuff. We celebrated Christmas with Grandma Thayer on Christmas eve. We had a very yummy dinner and opened some more wonderful gifts. Later that night Doug and I let Alex open her presents from us. Christmas morning we went to Plainfield to have the traditional Christmas Breakfast with the Thayers. Alex enjoyed all the fun toys, books and clothes from her great grandparents, grandparents, cousins and Great Aunt. We later went home and put Alex down for a nap that she really needed. Then Lance, Kari and Rick came over with more gifts. We played with the kids for a while. Later that evening my mom and brother came over for Christmas dinner. We had a very very yummy honey glazed ham, homemade fudges, all all the fixens.

I am enjoying this week off work. Alex is at the daycare while I tidy up around the house, getting rid of bags and bags of gift wrap and boxes. We have so much food left over. I have hit a few stores for some of the after christmas sales, bought myself a few new sweaters/shirts/jeans. Bought some more x-mas decorations. Im sure Doug will remind me we have enough Christmas decorations already. But I loovvee to decorate for this season. Now Im just debating when I am going to take all this stuff down and put it away. Thats the only thing I dont look forward to.
