Weekend Update: some holiday memories by the numbers
A few posts ago, my bloggy buddy Jenners had a great post entitled Christmas by the Numbers.
I thought it was creative enough to swipe. So here is my "not as good" version.
Number of presents we gave to my step-mom and dad: one each
Number of presents they gave us: 10
Number of times my son reminded them he asked for a laser beam and didn't get one: 4
Number of times the girls asked Grammie if she was ready to open gifts: 17
Number of times she said "in a little bit": 16
Number of times they asked if there was more to open: 7
Number of presents we got my mom and step-dad: 4
Number of presents they got us: 15
Number of times I had to remind my kids to say thank you: 2,957
Number of presents Santa brought each of them: 3 (like the wise men brought Jesus)
Number of gifts my son opened before he found this car: 6
Number of gifts he wanted to open after he opened this car: 0

Weekend Update...I should be in the movie four Christmases
Raise your hand if you are just a little bit Christmas'd out!
WOW...I am so Christmas'd out it is not even funny. After spending the last three days without Internet access except for useless dial-up I'm also going through a little on-line access withdrawal.
We've been celebrating Christmas since the middle of the month starting with my dad's extended family and then celebrating with my mom and her husband last weekend, we topped things off by spending three days at my husband's parents house.
We had Christmas with in-laws (above is my father-in-law opening his socks) and then we had Christmas with my dad and his wife and then we had Christmas with my Grandma. I don't want to see my kids open another present for a very long time.
Seriously, how am I supposed to scrapbook that much Christmas. It's boring even to me. LOL Currently, my house looks like Toys R Us exploded in it and unfortunately the kids have not forgotten that they each have $20 gift cards. UGH.
Here's a picture of me, the kids and my grandma. I just got my hair chopped off and can't decide if I like it or not. Below is a picture of my family with my dad and his wife.
