Christmas celebrations began Christmas Eve over at Jason and Leslie's. This is where we celebrate Christmas with Keith's mom and stepdad. We all made some appetizers and headed over for the celebrations! I was very excited for the kids, but was definitely not feeling up to par myself. I get terrible...really terrible...sores in my mouth all the time. (Not just little canker sores) Don't know why, doctors (multiply doctors) don't know why, but they hurt so bad and make you just feel sick. Many people in my fam get them too...especially my aunt. I've even been hospitalized while having some of these due to being dehydrated. It is hard to explain to people and I don't think a lot of people get it. I hate it and it really limits what I can do...especially talking, eating, drinking. I was not in a great mood to go, but wanted to for the kids...with my lip that was doubled in size. :( I have some medicine I can put on them, but that only works so long. We had fun, and I know the kids did, but I was ready to just come home. :(
I did snap some pictures...it hurt too bad to carry on a conversation too long.
Tyler and Jackson
Lil' Miss Thang walking around.
She just walked around refusing to eat any dinner...stinker. :)
He was really looking forward to eating his Santa cookie.
Kaden with Erika...they were pals that night.
While Pay-Pay refused dinner, she did manage to con some sweets out of Uncle Jason...
...and Grandpa!
Grandkid pic...not the best...but some documentation at least. :)
Big sis helping little sis.
Took FOREVER for this!
But she finally retrieved her prize.
Sporting it with her cousin.
Love the look on Darin and Jackson's faces...don't know who was more excited about this?!? Those Broady boys sure are good dads! ;)
Addison tackling her presents.
This was perfect since she loves to create!
Boys and their Tonka trucks.
He sure was lovin' these. Can't wait till summer when he can dig and put some dirt in there. :)
Santa and his elf.
Nana opening some gifts...so rare that I get any pics of her...she is not a fan of the camera. ;)
I'm pretty sure he was loving his gift as well.
I was ecstatic over my gift...a garbage can! And I'm not kidding! We have had this terrible garbage can for a couple years with a broken lid. I just had a really hard time justifying spending that much money on a garbage can of all things. I think Keith's mom knew that...and surprised me with one! I really love it!
All of these quickly diminished and the kids just played with some of their new things.
We left from there to come home, put the kids to bed, set up some things in the living room and for Keith to get ready for work. All of that didn't happen before he had to leave...so it made for a long night for both of us. But...it was a Merry Christmas Eve! Just thankful to have my sweet little family...I'm so blessed.
