Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful day!
The run down...
7:00 am - Turkey in the roaster.
7:40 am - Kids up. Time for coffee!
8:00 am - Robert was handed a list of errands.
  • Bring recyling in.
  • Go to Meat on Mille Lacs for Prime Rib.
  • Run to grocery store... he was there twice.
  • Go to my Mom and Dads for this and that.
He was out and about for sometime. But lots of things were accomplished.
9:30 am - Peeled potatoes and many other things. Ellie was very helpful as she sat in her high chair and watched.
10:40 am - Put Ellie down for a nap.
10:45 am - Pick up toys, put leaf in table. 
11:00 am - Time to shower.
11:35 am - Had and I run to Unique Boatique for a Christmas gift.
12:00 pm - Home again.
12:15 pm - Auntie Michelle arrival with Danny and Cody.
Auntie Michelle with her two favorite gals!
1:00 pm - Eat a fabulous turkey dinner with potatoes, stuffing, buns and a salad.
1:30 pm - Open presents. Hadley and Ellie were spoiled like usual. They each got some cute outfits, toys. Most of all Hadley finally got her Jessie doll and bullseye from Toy Story 3. She also was thrilled to get new underwear. She even opened the package and put them away in her room.
2:00 pm - Robert, Danny and Cody start a bonfire. Seriously, it is that nice outside that they were able to hang out and burn a few boxes and hope our unused tree would burn... but no, it was too fresh still.
2:30 pm - Put Ellie down for a nap.
3:00 pm - Michelle, Danny and Cody leave. Time for Hadley nap.
3:00 pm - Ellie wakes up, REALLY?!
3:15 pm -3:45 pm - Try to get her back to sleep. Give up! Get her dressed for church.
3:50 pm - Finish dishes and clean up. Entertain Ellie.
4:00 pm - Robert decides to shower again since he smelled like bonfire. I switch clothes. Ellie is already dressed...
4:30 pm - Wake up Hadley for church. Get her ready, more like convince her!
5:00 pm - Slide into church with a few minutes to spare! Whew!
5:00 pm - 6:15 pm - Church service. Went very well. Ellie cried once, made everyone laugh. Hadley needed to pee and she actually did. I had to bribe her with a treat! Ellie then needed to nurse a little. We let Hadley and Nevaeh hold a candle during Silent Night... Hadley didn't like the hot wax that dripped on her hand... she started crying and everyone heard her. No biggie!
6:30 pm - Dinner at Aunt Laurie's. Finally a glass of wine! However, Ellie is really tired by now having only napped forty minutes all day!
8:15 pm - Present time at my parents house. Ellie took a short nap at Laurie's, enough time to eat, yippee! Oh and just when we were about to leave, Hadley pooped in her underwear! Fun times!
8:30 pm - Present time begins... Ellie is in heaven with all the paper. We put her in the highchair.
9:30 pm - Homeward bound. Time to collect all our great goods and put our girls to bed.
10:00 pm - Ellie is rocked to sleep.
10:35 pm - Hadley pooped in her pj's... she gets changed... we then put cookies out for Santa. Robert brings the goods in from the car. We tell Hadley she must go to sleep so Santa can come.
10:40 pm - Robert and Hadley to bed!
10:45 pm - Start cooking sausage for the morning egg bake.
11:00 pm - Santa arrives! Stocking are filled!
11:15 pm - Ellie wakes up... get her back to sleep by nursing her in bed. Actually didn't fall asleep myself, I very much wanted too... but needed to finish egg bake.
11:30 pm - Egg bakes are ready. Ingredients out for monkey bread. Time to do some picture stuff and have a quiet hard cider.





12:10 am - Merry Christmas! Typing this blog run down of our day... posted some pictures on facebook. And, just need to add some pictures to this blog... then off to nestling in my bed!
