Happy Holidays
Just wanting to wish everyone a wonderful Holiday time with friends and family.
Tonight me and Ryan will finish wrapping some of the Christmas presents, and then spend some mommy and Ryan time watching Christmas movies like Rudolph and Frosty.
Tomorrow, we will head to my dads where we have appetizers all day to munch on. Lots of bread things to make tiny sandwiches with. Several types of salad mixes for said breads, such as chicken salad, turkey salad, ham salad. We will have little weenies in this wonderful sauce that my step mom will not give the recipe too, and meatballs that are just wonderful. Hot sausages, and all kinds of sliced veggies. Tons of cookies, and a pumpkin spice cake. Jello-pie, which I freaking love and only get at this time of the year. These little tart looking things that have meat in them, that just melt in your mouth, and various other little treats to grab and eat.
Because we were not able to get anyone anything this year, meaning all the kids that my brothers and sisters have, Ryan will open his presents when we first get there, so that we can leave before everyone starts trading off. My parents did not ask us to do this, but I have to, or I will cry. I hate not to be able to give, when everyone gives to him.
Then we will head to my aunts, early once again, because we were not able to get all the cousins presents that will be there, and there we will have even more cookies, cake, and custard pie. But they have a full on dinner, so my aunt will be stuffing plates in our faces filled with her yummy orange juice and coke baked ham, real sweet potatoes with butter and marshmallows, chicken and dumplings...the way my grammy used to make them mmmmmmm...and so much other food that I cannot even think about it without adding 10 pounds to my already big ass.
Then we will come home, and Ryan will quickly take a bath and be whisked off to bed, as santa has to have time to wrap and put together things.
The next morning, I will act like I am sleeping, but won't really be as I cannot sleep if I leave my tree on all night. Yes it is artificial, but I have fears of it catching fire and burning down, Ryan will come into my room yelling mommy Santa came Santa came.
We will call my parents and they will come to watch Ryan open presents. On their way in the door they are leaving a present at the back door, for Ryan to find. He really wanted a skate board this year, as his was hit by lightning last summer. I. did not know this till it was too late, and my parents beat me to getting it, but it will be left from Santa, so it works out.
Then.
We will be on our way to spend the week with S. I cannot wait. Neither can Ryan. There, we will have another Christmas night of opening presents and just being with each other.
I left it up to Ryan on what he wanted to do, as Christmas is more for him than anything, and while he wanted to leave today for S's house, he did not want to see his maw-maw and paw-paw upset, so he told me this morning, he wanted to stay here till Sunday night.
*smooches* all of you, and I wish you each a Holiday filled with love and magic.
