Christmas Craziness...

Christmas time is always a very crazy time for us and this year was no different! We stay on the move with barely enough time to grab some sleep at night before we are up the next morning and hitting the ground running.

Here was our schedule:
Sunday: Christmas dinner at the China Buffet with my family and then gifts at mom's house

Monday: 8 a.m. drop the kids off with Kathy to go to a Christmas thing at Brittany's work
12 - Christmas lunch with Debbers and gingerbread house decorating
5 - Christmas dinner with the Whittakers

Tuesday (Christmas Eve): Matt had to go into work for half the day :(
11:30 - Lunch at Kathy's and chaos with presents there
5 - Dinner at the Queens with Matt's mom, step-dad and brother and sister in law (the calm celebration)
Drop Reagan off at her mom's for the night
Head home and "help" Santa set up

Wednesday (Christmas Day): Up bright and early at 6 with Alex
10 - Reagan comes home to do family Christmas
12 - Lunch at Matt's dad's (chaos #2)

It may not look like much but it keeps us on our toes, completely screws with naps and wears us all out. When we left Dick's on Christmas Day about 3, I said "we are done!" and Reagan said "Yes!". That coming from a 10 year old tells you how nuts all the celebrations are.

Here are some pictures from all the chaos (in totally random order):

Lucy's Christmas peeps.

Finished gingerbread house.

Santa's loot. Yes that train table is as big as our tv!

At GQ's. When you get new socks, you should put all 6 pairs on at the same time!

Doing some light reading in the car. New book from Debbers.

This was the Christmas of tools! He got new tools everywhere he went and loved every one!

So worn out he crashed during lunch on Christmas and completely slept through all the present opening.

Still checking out his tools.

Artist at work.

Saying goodbye to Hermes.

Using his new tools to help daddy put his art easel together.

Hard at work. Notice his new tool belt he put on himself.

Pretty sure the chair and laptop were a hit. This is all she has done since Christmas.

Hanging out at Mamaw's.

Showing off his new trains.

Mommy's gift from Nana - a dirt devil. Perfect for cleaning crumbs off the little monster!

So excited about his very own vacuum!

Lots of fun with all the Potato Head pieces from Uncle Mike and Aunt Kimmy!
