I arrived Thursday morning about 12:20am. By the time I collected my luggage and got back here to Audra''s it was 1:30am. It was snowing! Spent a short time talking to Audra and then bed at 2:30am.
Woke up A few hours later and it was snowing. That day we were on the run getting the two older boys to school and then picking them up early so that we could go to the mall. It was still snowing. And there was already a foot of snow from last week on the ground. Spent the day at the mall, saw Santa Kirarra screamed and cried. :lol Spent at least 2 hours in the Disney Store and then had dinner out. Boy it get expensive having to feed 6 people out at the mall! :lol That's OK they had a ball. We drove the 35 minutes home from the mall and it was snowing. In fact in snowed all night. Then we went to the dollar store for paper and a few things and home. I think we got into bed about 1am.
Up and attem again on Friday morning and it was snowing. And it snowed off and on all day. It only accumulated to about 3 inches but it got really cold on Friday and the roads got slick. We spent about 8 hours in the stores Toys R Us, Walmart and BJ's. Got the grocery shopping done home to bathe and feed the kids and got to bed about midnight. Oh yeah after the kids were in bed Audra took Kaan back out shopping with her for a few hours to get my gifts. :lol I'd say she was in Walmart about 7 hours on Friday.
I have put my back out, I have sciatic nerve issues and boy I'm limping. But I'll live even with that I've shopped till I dropped. I think I have done 20 loads of laundry since I have been here, I have cleaned and yes last night I had to take the auger to one of the toilets because the kids threw something down it.
Yesterday was an at home day of cleaning, laundry and trying to get the house ready for company. After the kids went to bed I threw together 7 banana breads, I mixed a quad batch of chocolate chip cookies, a double of peanut blossoms, a double of blonde brownies. Then we wrapped our family gifts for our party today until 2:30am. I haven't even touched the kids gifts yet.
Tonight we will wrap all the kids gifts. Tomorrow there are 2 things we would like to pick up but the traffic and the crowds have been bad this weekend. I know last year it settled out on Christmas Eve Day though. Tomorrow night we have a full play kitchen, a rose pedal cottage and about 4 other things to assemble. rofl.
It was beautiful here when it was snowing. The trees so thick here the snow just nestled in along the branches. I'd forgotten how pretty it looks at night with the snow coming down. Like a greeting card. Back in CO the trees are so few that you just don't drive down the street and see a canopy of white over the roads in the trees.
So that is about it folks. I'm beat and limping but having a ball. I have all 4 kids in my lap and all around me no matter where I go. It is so worth it all.
Everyone have the best Chritsmas ever!
