dyk well our christmas was great - I think, lol I am so cranky and mood swingish, poor Sean, but he made out like a bandit with his tool set and it VERY pleased with it!
dyk the kids.... have 100 times the amount they needed - they were perfectly happy with their stockings, their bikes - CHILLY ride this morning - wind chill was 22 !!!! - and then they got about 10 times more at my parents, but it was great
dyk although my niece was a maniac and whined and cried and fussed and generally got on my nerves... haha
dyk and Santa brought me place settings for 8 of everything I need to have my dinner parties - including 5 piece place settings of silverware that my sister beaded, serving platters, parfait dishes, a huge sterling silver bowl, and my mom handmade a table cloth with sheer patterned overlay
dyk it was all set out with a sign that said, Table Reserved for Jennie Madsen
dyk and everything on the table was mine!!! It was a collaborative effort from my sister, mom, SIL, and my granny, and my aunts (my aunt made napkin ring holders - and the napkins - ooooh)
dyk and my dad got Abi (or rather Santa as well, lol) an indoor trampoline with enclosure
dyk now he's a genius!! he saw it in a black friday ad and they got it at one of the only remaining KMarts in the state!!
dyk and my mom (also santa, lol) got Dek a big horse, that he can ride and aaaaaaaaaaaaaal the acessories to go with it - cowboy outfit, hat, spurs, whip, lead rope...
dyk Dek played with it ALL DAY - I do mean literally about 10 hours
dyk my niece Jadyn had more stuff than she could open, more stuff than she could play with, and more stuff than she was interested in
dyk at 11:00am I put them all in bed - and Abi had a HUGE meltdown - but we worked it out and she was fine
dyk and then after that nap (Abi ended up watching a movie for 55 minutes and the little ones slept 2 hours) any time I went NEAR my niece she started screaming hysterically for Mommy - b/c she was STILL tired and was afraid Jen-Jen was going to put her in bed
dyk by the end of the night it was something of a joke! lol They'd go - hey Jen go past Jadyn see if she screams.... lol
dyk now my mind is working.... trying to figure out how to best arrange the kids room to best accomodate the new toys - there are not actually that many - but the trampoline, the horse, the new truck/trailer/boat/jetski toys Dek has...
dyk Dek takes much better care with his toys and their parts than Abi - so I need a system so he doesn't fall victim to her....
