Dec. 28, 2008 - Christmas
Ok, technically S's birthday is after Christmas but I was on a birthday roll so I am doing my Christmas post after hers LOL.
We had a really nice day. I was a little upset at first because dh had traded with a coworker so he would have Christmas off, the first one since he started at this job 6 years ago, & then they ended up calling him the day before & saying they was going to need him anyway. I guess thats what happens when you have a job that works every day, rain or shine & holiday or no holiday.
We had no family coming on Christmas so it would be just the dc & I & it just felt so lonely 
. We made the best of it though. I knew dh would be home around 3 so I planned for the ham to be ready a little after that. Our family all tends to be late sleepers, even on Christmas the dc dont get up super early. Dh let the dc camp in the LR around the tree Christmas eve & I let them sleep as long as they wanted in the morning. After they got up we had breakfast & did stockings. They was thrilled to be allowed to eat CANDY first thing in the morning LOL. We spent the rest of the morning just hanging out & watching Christmas movies & making the meal.
When dh got home the dc pretty much mobbed him at the door & once he had a few seconds to breathe we opened presents 
. After that we had dinner & just spent a relaxing evening hanging out together 
. I would have MUCH preferred him to be home all day but it was tollerable & we did have a nice relaxed day.
Stocking time!!
Figuring out how to unwrap presents
Mmmm candy
Waiting for Daddy (notice the chocolate on his face? LOL )
