- Christmas Eve was the good wife's happy birthday! Went pretty well. Her Father came down to celebrate the birthday with us and exchange Christmas presents. All went well to a point. While eating, I broke one of my teeth on a stupid chip! Talk about bad fortune....That kinda put an end to the good eats for me. Wife and kids really enjoyed the birthday/Christmas present exchange!
- Watched a few movies before going to bed.
- Woke early Christmas morning with a belly ache attacking daughter #2.
- Back to bed after remedied
- Woke later (still early) to celebrate Christmas with the kids...
- Presents opened and wrapping paper all over the place! (the packaging on toys is simply ridiculous! Wire, tape and stitching to keep a doll or toy car in place. It seemed like it took half the morning just to open/liberate all the toys.
- Made waffles with my new waffle iron
- Niece comes over for an exchange...a very quick exchange!
- Brother and family come over to visit.
- Load family and niece in van and head to Oklahoma to see "Christmas with the Kranks". The theatre is a very old building with only one screen and no lobby. You pay for tickets at the window, walk through the concession aisle and directly into the theatre. This theatre was built in the 1940's and show's it.
- At the theatre, twenty minutes into the show, our two year old daughter decides she wants to entertain everyone trying to watch the move...We two end up waiting in the van as everyone finishes the movie. Talk about cold.....
- On the way home we stop by Bulltaco and Chrystal's home and leave some presents on the door (not home), and continue home.
- At home I mess with some wax trying to temporarily "fix" my tooth with a good deal of success! Will work until I can get to the dentist.
- We watch some more movies, fall to sleep in the recliners and finally head off to bed as Christmas has passed.
All and all it was a very good Christmas. The good wife and I received very much joy from watching the children. Very good indeed.
Want to know what we got?????? Ok!
I got some clothes, a cool reading stand with built in lamp, a waffle iron, toaster, wooden box, and many books (I love the books)! I also got a blanket...the good neice gave everyone in our family a blanket...a really cool idea, or I should say, "Warm" idea!
My wife got books (some duplicates), a family ring, stove, entertainment center, a blanket and other small stuff.
The kids got a limited amount of toys and clothes along with some blankets(the kids really appreciate stuff like that for some reason).
Not a very rich Christmas in regards to gifts, but a most splendid and appreciated one in heart and spirit! The gift count was low and very practical, and it seemed that it was somehow better than previous holiday's where we spent much on presents...with the exception of a few toys, everything we purchased and received was something that was needed...I like it that way!
Now if I can get the tooth taken care of fairly quick and without too much expense....
Be Right
