Christmas Day

Hello Folks

Well this post is a tad late, but hey its better late than never! As they always say hehe... Well let me if you will pick up from Wed's night into Christmas day.. Wed's night we were busy wrapping up what we got during our shopping spree, and oh man the stores were busy! Then we got home, ate a great shrimp dinner, omg soo good! Then wrapped and got the baskets together, put J down to bed, or tried, till he knocked out finally. Then we didnt go to bed till 3 ish AM after getting last minute things together.. Esp my sis in law's gift for her birthday..

So we got up around oh 7:30 due to my allergies and I couldnt breath much, so I jumped in the shower and to clear my nose up, Hub woke up and started cooking breakfast, we ate, opened stockings, we did our gifts, then Hub showered and dressed,while I dressed kiddo and he loaded the car up well van but car, and then we shut down the house and turned off things we didnt need.. Went to the store to pick up an energy drink and a card then off we left due to the storm was back on its way in.. I was driving so it was good..

Once we go to Coarsegold it was snowing, well starting to.. We were lucky to get down a mountain called Deadwood its a very dangerous mountain to drive into Oakhurst.. I put the car in low gear and drove down the hill.. Once in Oakhurst, we drove to park the car at Vons a local store and switch cards due to the snow falling so hard. I have pics of the snow, I'll post those soon.. I'll hook up the cam and down-load them... So finally around 1ish or so when Sis and Bro inlaw arrived and we did gifts, some of them, and took a break, put J down for a nap due to being so whinny. I laid down with him to keep him calm. He slept about an hour or 2...? Dinner was being prepared, we had turkey, ham, green bean casarole, stuffing, rolls, water, pop, cranberries, olives ( black & green)... I was hopeing for pickles LOL..

After dinner we cleared the table to open the rest of the gifts, I oraganized as we went due to getting alot of stuff.. We got a car vac, a juicer, cloths, all 3 of us, Some small stuff, and all in all it was nice.. I was exhausted.. I think we all called it about 10 or 11pm but I sat in bed reading for a bit, and tried to sleep but kiddo had other plans it took me an extra 2 hrs to get him to settle down and sleep.. Oy! It was a very long night.. I tossed and turned all night long and woke up to a stuffy nose, blah.. !

This morning Hub and I were up at 8 and mom and erv were up between 6 and 7 am this morning.. We boggyed to get ready, I showered first, then hub showered and we all dressed, then got the truck loaded to go back down to town, omg it was white as heck up there so beautiful the last time I saw snow was on my wedding day almost 8 yrs ago.. Man its been so long.. We ate breakfast at a local place called Pete's Place, oh so good they have good lunch, dinner items we miss that place.. Left there, to go and pick up my car, and load it up , got that loaded it was covered in snow.. We drove over the mountain the very one we told you about, it was plowed from the previous night of snow, so no chaines were needed.. Thank God!

So we made it home by 11am this morning, we puttered around the house, I left to pay a bill and put money in the bank, Hub is paid on Monday so that'll help then I paid a bill online that I needed to pay but with so much going on , slipped my mind.. So today has been home and relaxing on/off.. Son napped for 2.5 hrs today, oh that was soo great, while I watched Parking Wars on TV oh good show to watch.. So now we're in the wind-down of the day and about to relax and rest.. So much needed..

Well I pray and hoped y'all had a wondeful Christmas and a great time with family and friends.. Now gotta be pre-pared for a new year and new goals and dreams right!? My love to you all..


Love & Light
