Christmas Eve…Onto Christmas Day!

I was going to write an entry lastnight when we got home but by the time I read through all my favorites and checked my email I was too tired. It was a long day. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Even though it was tiring I know I did.
It actually started on Christmas Eve. That day I was planning on going into work until we closed which was at noon, but that didn’t happen. I’m so glad they took all four of my wisdom teeth and I’ll never have to go through it again. Anyways, so I slept most of the time and then my mom called and wanted some help wrapping up some santa stuff so i went to her work and helped her. She was depressed because her and Jay had another little argument. I guess I shouldn’t say little because it was quite serious. They were talking divorce again and everything. I swear they are worse that highschool kids lol. I know they’re both just way stressed over Christmas and what not. I mean Jay was like freaking out because he was so sure that my mom had spent a ton of money on him and he hadn’t spent much. Everything we mentioned to him he told us that he didn’t want to get her…he was helpless lol…It was just the Christmas season and he was stressed. Everything is pretty good now.
Anywho, when Matt got off work he had to run a few places and ended up getting here at the time we were suppose to be in Ririe. He got here and hurried and changed his clothes and then we left. We got there and ate some lunch. I was friggen starving and it tasted so good, but it takes too much of an effort to eat so I hate eating lol. After that we opened presents. I like the way they do it..they pass them all out and then start with the youngest person and they open one and then they just go up from there and keep going around until everyone is done. It works pretty cool. Matt and I didn’t get a whole lot, but we didn’t expect it because we didn’t give them much of a list.
I ended up with an M&M coffee mug set from Matt’s little brother. We got an ornament and some other little things from Matt’s family in Michigan. We each got a set of PJ’s. I can’t remember all that Matt got, but the one for the both of us…which may sound weird was a gun. It’s kind of a long story. Matt used to own this gun a while back and then sold it to his brother for dirt cheap a while back and has been bugging him to buy it back and his brother would not sell it for anything. So I guess Matt’s dad made a trade with him and got it back and gave it to Matt for Christmas. In a way it was for me too because Matt’s been wanting to get it back for me so I’d have one. It was awesome! I absolutely loved watching all the kids open their presents. As usual, we got each of them an outfit. It averaged out that we spent about $20 each on them. They all loved their outfits. I wish I would have taken pictures of them before we gave them to them. Anyways, after that we hung out for a bit. My mouth actually didn’t bother me much. My allergies kicked in though and I was miserable. I think I’m allergic to their dog though…which is weird because I’ve never been allergic to dogs or any animals for that matter before. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been way from them for so long…or what…Anyways, I called my mom to see how she was doing because she’d been slightly depressed. The minute she answered the phone I thought she was like having a heart attack or something. She was just spazzing out because she was running short on time and found out that in fact she was going to Jay’s family’s Christmas party..which we were invited to. My mom needed me to run and grab a gift certificate from my aunt for my sister so I did that and then we stopped at home to finish wrapping some stuff and throwing everything together. We needed to drop Santa stuff off at my dads, but decided to run to Sugar City to go to the party first. It started snowing like crazy! We hung out for about an hour and a half with my mom and Jay. My sister had a blast, but you can tell that Jay’s parents to adore her! She even got a few presents that she loved. My mom got a really really cute jacket and Jay got a really cute clock. They felt bead because they didn’t know that Jay had asked us to come, but it was not a big deal, we just enjoyed being there. Anyways, we left a little early so we could go drop the stuff off at my dads and wrap a few more things. When we went to leave there was like 4 inches of snow on the car and it was STILL snowing! It was a rough trip to my grandma’s but we made it. Unloaded everything and my dad had me wrap a few more things and then we headed back to my moms. We all just kind of hung out there. It was my mom, Jay, his kids (Riley and Brynli), me, Matt, and my two sisters. It was a full house, but we had fun and all the kids were excited. I had taken a pain pill and so I was out pretty early. We were all just watching a movie and the next thing I know Matt wakes me up and tells me to go to the bed. The next thing I remember is all the kids waking up telling us that we had until 6:30 before they were opening presents. Jay had told them to stay downstairs and not peek…it was kind of cute listening to them. I dozed in and out and my mouth started killing me! Matt went and got my pain pills and I went and ate a peice of bread and then Jay (being a turd) screwed around just to make the kids more impatient and then finally we started opening presents. He wanted to do it in a somewhat organized manner and that didn’t work. All the kids did pretty well though. Jayci (my youngest sister) got a PS2, motorized scooter, video now, a ton of other stuff. Riley(step brother) got a gun, targets, bunch of clothes. Brynli(step sister) got a nice stereo, some clothes bunch of stuff. My other sister got a ton of clothes, $50 gift certificate to Dillards for some Clinique Makeup….I’m not really in the mood to list everything. My mom and Jay did pretty good. My mom got a great big really nice pot that she wanted, a sweatshirt and some other stuff. Jay got a surround sound system, a nice coat, and some other things..oh yeah my mom got a really nice glider-rocker chair that she absolutely loves!
Matt(santa) got me a digital camera! I was so excited. Then I got a really cute/cool Eeyore puzzle. My mom got me some really cute sweaters and a bread maker! I came out a happy person! Oh yeah, my mom usually got us each PJ’s every year to open on Christmas eve, but she didn’t get me any this year, but my sister had gotten me some really really cute Pillsbury Doughboy ones. They’re huge, but they are comfy!
After that we all just kinda talked and messed with our stuff and then cleaned up and we got ready and headed to my grandma’s to open santa(dad) stuff there. ANyways, I’ll continue in a new entry!
