XMAS DAY & POST XMAS

XMAS DAY THURSDAY
12-25-2014

Got up and made cheese eggs for dogs. Hubby texted the kids; they were in Florida at Disney World & EPCOT. While he was talking on the phone, he fed eggs to Ben.

We got everything cleaned up and hubby passed out presents. We chose not to wrap the presents to waste more wrapping paper.

Hubby had gotten heated seats installed in the Red Dually yesterday as a present to himself.

After unwrapping our presents, we started to make food. But realized that we forgot to thaw the turkey & ham! Will have to bake those on Sunday!

Then we took dogs for walk in park. It was very cold. We walked in the campground area. Then fed ducks in Bayview after walk.

Erin's Espresso was closed, so we decided to drive to Rathdrum to see if Jitterz was open. No such luck. We got gas instead and got extremely poor coffee drinks out of the dispenser at the gas station.

Came home and hubby started making crab. I made bacon roll-ups. We put out all the food. Warmed up the Crab Rangoon. Put out the Beef Brisket. Put out the cheese & crackers. Put out the cheese ball. Made the mini weiners with BBQ sauce in the crockpot.

We watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the old Christmas Carol, and A Christmas Story.

Also took the old dishwasher off the deck and put it in the back yard behind the garage. We need to haul it to the recyclers.

I got tired around 9:30 and went to bed extremely exhausted. Hubby cleaned up some food and came up later.

POST XMAS FRIDAY
12-26-2014

The day after Christmas seems so depressing.

Got up and it was extremely cold in the house. Started all the heaters.

I made cheese eggs for dogs and a sandwich for hubby. He started his dually and then sat around watching TV until 7AM. Hubby had to go to work today.

When I woke up, I had felt good but had started sneezing and then a cold. Hubby gave me Cold Calm and I took 2 Benadryl. Passed out on the couch.

Hubby called and guy had to pick up truck at shop. I went down to open doors by 10:00 in the FMF so I would not freeze. Guy came at 11AM finally!

I picked up dog poop in the backyard around 1PM and then went to get mail. Got 1 more Xmas card.

Hubby worked 2 hours OT. He got home around 6:45.

We watched tv & went to bed at 10:00PM.
