CHRISTMAS!!!

So, another Christmas has passed and I managed to survive! It started off with me making a traditional Mexican Christmas Eve dinner, except I managed to forget the beans, how? No clue. Then Christmas morning I was enjoying snuggling in my warm bed when a I was a woken to a voice saying, is it time to get up and open presents? And no it wasn't Georgia, it was Robert asking that, Georgia was still sound asleep with visions of sugar plums dancing in her head. So, Robert kindly woke her up, she came running into my arms and then saw the pile of presents sitting under the tree!!!!!

For a little girl who will be three in two weeks, she is not what you expect when it comes to opening presents. Then again she never has been, she loves tearing into presents that are in bags, but when it is in a box and wrapped in paper, she would rather watch someone else open it for her. And unbeknownst to myself, I had mysteriously purchased wrapping paper that tears only when you are trying to cut it with scissors! But when you try to tear it off a box with your fingers? Forget about it.

Georgia made out like a bandit like I figured she would. She got presents from Robert and myself
aka Santa and Mrs. Claus, my parents, her father's parents, Rob's aunt Jen, Great Grandma and Grandpa Green, Great Grandma Houston, Great Aunt Debbie and great Uncle Randy, and now we get to make up what she didn't get with money from Great Grandma Maria and Grandma and Grandpa Green. Whew! And if she wasn't spoiled enough by all of that, her Birthday happens to fall exactly two weeks after Christmas Eve this year!!!!

As for Robert and myself, we didn't do to bad ourselves. We managed some clothes from my parents, and money from his family. With that money we purchased an iPad 2 that will benefit our entire family, will work for school and work, and as entertainment and help us educate Georgia. My gift to Robert has been games for the computer that he has been interested in, and shoes! He buys new shoes about every 6 months, now he has gotten two new pairs in the time span of a month, so hopefully now that he has two pairs at once, we can keep ahead of the purchase of shoes every 6 months. And me? Well, I got great deals on three magazine subscriptions, and a book that was suggested to me by a good friend who shares the same interest in culinary experiences (although I am not as daring as she is). I was also given permission to add games to my Nintendo dsi that are for all of us.

Now on to the buying of Birthday gifts. We have ordered one so far, and are pretty sure of the other two that we will be purchasing for her. And I for one am really looking forward to celebrating her Birthday. We are again going out to Rob's Aunt Debbie's place to celebrate because I figured where better to celebrate than someplace she can go running wildly outside? Since we live in an apartment, it is a little difficult to get her outside to play unless we take a bus trip to someplace where she can play.

But before we can conquer Birthday, we must conquer New Year's Eve!

Pictures will come later, when we have them all loaded onto the computer, again I failed in my mission to take lots of pictures, but I believe I got a couple and Robert got a couple as well. Georgia is now requesting that I play with her with one of her new toys that requires an adult to play with her, so I will bid fare well, and say that I will post again soon, most likely this week.
