Holiday craziness

The boy made it home.  It normally takes 16 hours...it took 24, and they didn't stop.  It was bad, bad, bad!  I was so happy to see that boy walk through the door.

The boys girlfriend came for the holidays.  She is from Indiana.  She got here the same day he came home.  The wildchild was here already with her husband.  She is a wedding photographer and was here to do a wedding.  It is a FULL house here.

As Donkey, from Shrek says, it's not Christmas unless someone is crying and well...the day after everyone came home, the boy and the wildchild got into a fight.  Oh brother.  I thought I was over refereeing my kids fights.  My daughter ended up in tears, then I was in tears.  It was super fun!

Luckily, the next day, I made them all sit down and make up.  I told them they didn't have to like each other but they had to get along for christmas.  I didn't want a gift, I just wanted that.

After that, everyone got along fine.  They even hung out together.

Whew! Christmas was saved!

So Christmas Eve is at my house.  My whole family is coming.  It should be a good time.  Christmas Day will be just our immediate family.  It is going to be a great weekend.

I'll be honest though, as happy as I am to have everyone here, I'll sure be happy when they leave! HAHA!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.  Or whatever you celebrate, I hope you are happy!

Love and good wishes,
grace
