Merry Friggin Christmas

We had an awesome Christmas!!!

I wish I could tell you that, but I'd be bullshitting you. In reality we had a miserable Christmas.

On Christmas eve, Renee got very very sick. I had been up with her all night and was at her Dr.'s office as soon as they opened up. Her fever got up to 103 and even with Tylenol she still ran around 100. Her nose was stopped up and running (don't ask me how this works, I still can't figure that one out), and she was soooo moody. As it turns out she had a double ear infection, a sinus infection and a upper respiratory infection. *Poor Baby*

She was miserable, I was miserable so the whole house was miserable. *You know the saying; If momma ain't happy....* I was attempting to bake brownies for Santa with Angel in between helping Renee. Then finally I get Angel to sleep and try to wrap the last of the presents and poor Renee just wanted me to hold her. I was up until 1am baking pies for Christmas dessert, wrapping presents, and taking care of Renee.

Oh and just a side note; Never try to melt chocolate in the microwave, it will catch on fire! But never mind about that I will tell you more in a while.

So Christmas morning I wake to a little hand rubbing my arm, "Mommy! Hey Mommy! Santa came! He ate the brownies and left me a tiara!!! Come see, come on!"

I look at the clock and it was 5:34am! It took just about everything I had to get out of bed and make a pot of coffee. *How in the world can she possibly be up this early?!? If it were any other day she would stay in bed until almost 10am! But No not this day, not on Christmas! She was too excited and of course I hadn't much of any sleep*

So I sit there halfway paying attention to what she is saying and doing. At that point she probably could have asked me for the car keys and I'd have told her to have fun. She goes through her stocking and shows me everything....twice.

The baby wakes up and I give her some more medicine. I feed Angel some breakfast and told her after breakfast she could start to open gifts.

Both the girls ate and by this time Renee's meds had kicked in and she was feeling rambunctious for the moment. So it was time to open gifts. Angel flies through her gifts and starts tearing into them. Renee kept looking at Lee and I like we were going to yell at her for tearing the paper; so we helped her unwrap her gifts. For another hour the girls were beaming from ear to ear with their new things.

We had to get ready to leave because we had to go to Lee's family and my family for Christmas lunch and dinner. But that's another story...
