Sunday - Christmas Eve

...or should I say has been to town?  Santa came early in my house because he found out we were going to Texas and knew some little boy would be driving his parents c-r-a-z-y if he didn't, lol.  So, Santa being the wonderful and giving person that he is, came last night while we were all sleeping snug in our beds and we opened gifts at 8:30 this morning.  Stephanie, Tony and Diante came over too and we all ate a hearty breakfast cooked by moi (shhhh...don't tell anyone I cooked).

It was funny.  I got off work yesterday morning around 7:30am, picked up the kids from Stephanie's where they were spending the night, and then we all went to Denny's for breakfast.  After that Hannah, Caleb & I went shopping at the mall.  I know, we were brave, but actually it wasn't bad at first, then we walked out of one store about 11:00am and it seemed like the mall had literally exploded people.  I was like, "uh, where did all the people come from?"  So we tried to hurry (not possible) and get out of there.  Then we went to Target to finish up.  I tell you I made a point of saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone.  I got some back, but about half either didn't say anything or said Happy Holidays.  Whatever, I'm still saying it.

I slept about 2 1/2 hours then got up, jumped in the shower and we went to the Phoenix Coyotes vs Anaheim Mighty Ducks hockey game.  We won! 2-0!  It was about 6 minutes left in the game and David said, "do you want to go ahead an leave?"  "No, let's stay a little bit longer" I said.  Well at 14:58 in the third period was goal #1 by Shane Doan.  Then just 13 seconds later came goal #2 by Fredrik Sjostrom.  Whoo hoo!  That was great! 

On the way home we stopped off at CVS to pick up some bags to throw some presents in and then finished wrapping and threw presents under the tree around 3:00am.  I was stupid tired, lol.  I think I still am.  I had to clean up and then laid down to sleep but was so tired I couldn't sleep.  Don't you hate that?  Finally around 5:00 this morning I finally fell asleep until 8:00.  So in the last 48 hours I've slept 5 1/2.  Ugh.  Oh well, Christmas only comes once a year, right?

Gotta make cookies for David to take to work.  Then it's packing.  I'm doing laundry right now.  We fly out in the morning.  So...

...I hope that Santa brings you exactly what you are wishing for, and Merry, Merry Christmas!
