Merry Christmas (a day late)

Good morning! I can say that now at 7am because I have some caffeine in me. Peepers decided 5am was a good time to get up. So we watched Little Einsteins 3 times, 30 minutes of the 1986 Transformers movie and then 5 episodes of Pocoyo. Well...Merry Christmas!

I had a WONDERFUL christmas. Here I thought that it just wouldnt be the same since we werent at my parents house and stuff, but it was absolutley great. My family arrived the afternoon of Christmas eve and we kicked teh evening off with seafood linguine and baked salmon with herb butter bread...ate way too much of that but honestly I coudnt stop. Looking forward to ahving it for lunch today.  Pierce had (and is still having)  a blast with Gramma and Pop-Pop. He ended up in bed about 8-ish which is normal, but then woke up at 1am.. he is sleeping in our room so my parents can have a place to sleep, which hasnt afforded me ANY sleep this weekend.. but Zac was able to get him to go back to sleep in MY spot on MY bed..so I was displaced to the couch. Which I actually slept fairly well on considering. So all us adults were up about 8am...peepers woke up at 11am. I dont think that he has really put it together about all this Santa Claus and Jesus business but he sure does know that good things come from presents!!! He had no problem tearing into his gifts once we told him they were for him. He made out like a bandit - a couple race car tracks, some bath toys, a lot of clothes and a monster truck tent. I made out well too :) Zac got me the softest robe in the world that is the best color in the world - jewel tone blue. : D   He also got me a lot of Burts Bees stuff, the hair appliance I wanted...We had such a wonderful christmas morning. It is WAY more fun watching Peepers open his gifts than to be the kid...

That afternoon we all got ready for the day and took the fam to Moulton falls up in Yacolt and went for a day hike around to the waterfalls - the sky cleared up for just long enough from when we got there to when we decided to leave. Was perfect. Then we came home and dad made Mexican food (OMG.) and we rented the first Sherlock Holmes (VERY GOOD. and Im not a big movie person) and then for dessert we watched Dracula Dead and Loving It. We must have worn Zac out because he was the first person to pass out during the movie. (not normal for him..ESPECIALLY during a movie)

And now it is today... 5am wakeup call....but that is ok... Peepers is so cute and cuddly that early. Dad is making prime rib today - so excited! I told zac I am gorging myself from Saturday to Today on all the food that dad is making and then come Tuesday I will be back to eating correctly. Or mostly anyways (hee hee)

I do apologize for the shortness of the post today...my brain is kindof shorting out this morning (need more caffeine)

Merry Christmas!!
