When the Christmas Season began it seemed like everything was scheduled between the 11th and the 14th...6 parties!! I knew this past weekend would be busy but I really was not prepared for the absolute craziness. So, as I sit her this morning I am thankful that my kids had a snow day today and that I am still in my jammies! Here is a recap of the weekend:
Thursday night we had a Christmas party for one of Aaron's clients. This isn't any Christmas party because the entertainment is not typical...this year we were entertained by Puddle of Mud and then LL Cool J. How cool is that? But unfortunatly the LLCool J songs made me thing I was back in high school and I started acting like a high school girl (that was never good) and the next morning I was kicking myself! Luckily my mother let the girls spend the night so Aaron and I rolled out of bed pretty late and had a delicious hangover breakfast at Bob Evans..yum!
Friday night we had dinner at Tony's for my parents anniversary. It was fun just hanging with the family enjoying those delicious steaks. Afterwards I went to my friend Shelley's house for a "Hens Wrapping Extravaganza" party. We wrapped presents until about 1am which was very fun and productive!
Saturday was a fiesta dinner party with many of my grade school and high school friends. About two hours before the party as I was frantically cleaning my distastrous house one of our Christmas trees ( our real tree in the hearth room with all of our precious handmade ornaments made by the girls!) came crashing to the ground. So amid the huge puddle of water, tree limbs and broken glass I found my most treasured ornament of the twins shattered on the ground. I was sick! This is a handpainted ornament of the twins on their 1st birthday. Impossible to replace! But I knew that our guests would soon be arriving and my house was in shambles so I quickly re-decorated the tree. Trust me, it isn't as much fun the second time! But all in all we had a great night and had fun visiting and catching up (till 1am!) The girls were even able to catch up with "Bob". He quickly reminded all of us about picking us up from volleyball practice in high school and how bad we smelled! He would always roll down all of the windows and try to freeze us all to death!
I love these girls so much and wish that we all lived closer. Between us we have 12 girls and 6 boys so needless to say life is crazy right now!
Sunday we had the Killion Christmas party and then our friends came over for dinner. We had a field trip planned to go see the Journey to Bethlehem. But this evening will require its very own blog entry since it was so eventful...stay tuned!!
