The Christmas Holiday Has Arrived!

Christmas Eve started off with a sick baby and a visit to the doctor's office, only to have them tell me that he has a common cold and there isn't anything they can give him. However, they weighed him in at 18lbs 5oz, chunk. But he's my chunk of burnin' love! After a day of craziness, last minute shopping and everything else we got ourselves dressed up for the children's mass at our church. Okay so mass started at 4:30 we get there at 4:00 holy cow no place to sit. You would think that the church was giving away money -- oh wait we were giving them money. Anyhoot, mass was really nice, but loud (note to self -- next year no children's mass). After mass we headed over the bridge and through the woods to grandma's house we go :) We spent Christmas Evening with Grandma, Pop Pop, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Carolyn, Casey and Nicole. Mom made finger foods which was really nice not to have a heavy meal. Unfortunately, Maddock was still not feeling 100%, but we had a nice time anyhow. McKinlee of course got toys and was loving that how could he not. On our way home from Grandma's they announced on the radio that Santa was in Mississippi and heading our way next. Of course, McKinlee had to hurry up and get home so he could get to bed otherwise Santa would pass by Shady Brook Road. We got home got McKinlee in bed and he was pretty much out for the count after about 1/2 hour.

Christmas Morning!

McKinlee woke up around 8:00 to presents from Santa under the tree. His words were, "see Mommy I told you Santa thought I was a little bit good." Well all I could say to that was your right kiddo he sure did. A little advice to some newer parents or those to be new parents, when your child gets about 1/2 way through the pile and can't or should I say -- won't open anymore, you know then Santa shopped wayyyy toooo much!!! So McKinlee, got a Nintendo DS, games, board games, clothes, other toys and then he got the Wii or maybe actually Lee got the Wii In any event the family now has a Wii -- Guitar Hero is the BOMB! We spent the day basically playing Wii and Nintendo DS with McKinlee. Originally we had planned to go to Wayne and Carolyn's for dessert and drinks but Maddock was up all night and was still under the weather so decided to kill those plans and just stay home.
