Christmas Christmas Christmas

 Well today is Christmas.. It's the first one in California for all of us, I can honesty say getting ready for this years Christmas I wasn't stressed out or worried much at all.. Other then the fact I didn't know what to buy my mom, but thankfully she isn't picky so I was able to find her something she liked... Today has been pretty good the kids woke up around 8:30am or 9:00am I'm not so sure I didn't look at the time.. They were super excited to know that Santa had stopped for them.. DannieLynn was super excited that Santa didn't eat all his cookies so she could finish the rest, Braxton enjoyed that our Elf on the Shelf "Jingle" had left them some M&M's so he finished those off.. 

Then it was onto the gifts, DannieLynn spotted her bike right off and was super Excited which kinda shocked me a little since she was with me when I picked it up and already saw it.. I guess she didn't really catch it was for her.. ( but I won't be doing that anymore I'll make sure they aren't with me when I get their gifts) Braxton was happy to see his little Lighting McQueen car that Santa left and was ready to ride.. Once he was riding he didn't care about any other gift at all.. (**Note to self**) hide those big gifts next time so they are ready to open everything up before getting the ride on toys lol..

We all sat around in the living room and opened up our gifts one person at a time when you was handed a gift, it was very nice to see what each person was getting and how they reacted to getting that gift lol.. 

Overall I think everyone was excited and loved what they were give... The kids were super excited for all their gifts and I was a super happy momma that I didn't have to spend my arms and legs to make our children happy!! Also they didn't get to much that only one thing is getting played with they are able to play with all their toys and enjoying their time.. 

We had a pretty good morning and now everyone is doing their own thing.. The kids are playing and hanging out.. Mom, Lenny and Myself is watching a Christmas Movie "Jingle All The Way" I love this movie I watch it all year long not just at Christmas time.. 

Kinda sucks today though because Steven had to go into work from 2-10pm don't they realize he has children that he needs to spend some time with.. I mean he worked for you last night 4pm-12:30am and didn't get to help do their gifts for Santa or anything then you want him right back on Christmas Day at 2pm kinda makes me mad... (Ps. I don't care if it's a job) I don't like the fact of it.. Especially since the fact they don't get anything extra in pay for working today! 

This Christmas was also a bit different since we miss our back home family like crazy.. It's been kinda odd not having to rush and get things done to make it to someone's house in time lol.. Which is kinda good but weird all in the same sense.. 

I thought we would make it through today without any meltdowns but man was I wrong.. DannieLynn had a major meltdown because she wanted to play with Braxton's baby doll and he wanted it too, but we will get through it I believe it just a nap that's needed.. 

Well I guess we are going to spend some time watching spongebob and hoping naps come soon so we can have a more relaxing day!! 

I hope you all have a great day with family and friends!! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
