Packed and ready...

I spent most of the day doing laundry and packing for the trip tomorrow. Everything is ready to go and we will be leaving around 4am. We did get to open presents with Rylee tonight and she loved them all.

Merry Christmas...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I got up and took a shower and was ready to go when she got home. We went over to DJ and Maggie's house to have Christmas with the boys. It was a fun time and they like the presents they got. We came home and opened our gifts. We were play with everything, before I started dinner around 12:30. Dinner was ready around 3pm and we were both hungry. I got a very upsetting call and have to make a trip to KC. A good friend of mine is in hospice care and I need to go see her. So I will be leaving Friday morning and not sure when I will be back. Frank and Rose stopped by for a visit and buster was not happy with their dog being here, so he spent the evening in the bedroom.

Christmas eve....

We took showers and headed at the door around 10am. We went to Target, PetCo, Bed Bath and Beyond, Wal-Mart, Pire One, picked up Chinese food, and came home. We were all done shopping. I made deviled eggs and apple salad for tomorrow. We headed to Dawn and Jo's house around 4pm after they left to set up Rylee's train set. It took us about 35 minutes as the instructions were not that great. we then headed to Jo's parents house for dinner and presents. It was a great time and we enjoyed the evening. So now it is time for bed, so Santa will come and bring us presents.

Shopping time...

We were up and seeing Dr. Bill at 9am. we drove separately as we both had things to do afterwards. I went to the gym, Target, and to the grocery store. Beth had her Christmas shopping to finish up. We meet her brother, Frank, and his wife, Rose, for dinner. We then went shopping at the Disney store and came home. We watched last MNF game for the season. The fantasy league is over and Beth won the championship. I came in last, so not bad.
