Christmas Eve

What a pleasant surprise this years Christmas Season has brought. SNOW! We've lived here for 4 years now, and this is the first year that were actually going to have a WHITE Christmas in Seattle! The people are seriously crazy. Did you know that if you need the momentum in order to be able to pull out, you can go ahead and run that stop sign and pull out into oncoming traffic, because even tho its too slippery for YOU to go, I'LL be able to STOP on black ice.... GENIUS people we have living here, let me tell you!Daddy decided to not take any leave this time. He needs to go back to Alaska and renew his drivers license and since he gets a half day today (or was suppose to anyways) and tomorrow off, we decided that we'd just save up his time. So today, we delivered some goodies, daddy took some to the shop and then we took a box to our leasing office. Eli had so much fun helping decorate our carmel corn holders.  Now, daddy is off escorting some trouble maker to a court hearing, Ayden is taking a much needed afternoon nap, Eli is cuddled up on the couch watching "COPS" with very heavy eyes, and Mama SHOULD be doing her hair and make up, but instead Im on the computer being irritated because of a very rude response to a craigslist posting i received, and continually checking the status of the drums that we ordered 3 weeks ago, that should have been here over a week ago, but because of the weather, have been on hold in the oregon ups warehouse place for 3 days! The website says it should be here today... man i hope it is, Eli is going to  LOVE his drum set.... I guess if it doesn't come, it will be here by his birthday... Good thing he was late!Our plans for tonight... I can't decide what to make for dinner... Either Chili bread or Calzone, but either way, we'll eat an early dinner, let the boys open up their presents- 2 each, one of them is their matching jammies that they'll wear to bed tonight and then open their presents in them in the morning.  I love our matching jammie tradition. :) Their other present is the gift that the command gave us, Eli gets a remote control CAT tracker and Ayden gets a little people truck.  The boys will go to bed, and Daddy and I will stuff stockings, set up the drums (assuming they get here) set up ayden's ball pit, and put all the other presents under the tree. Then daddy and i will curl up, have dessert and watch a movie ( we love netflix)! I am so excited for the boys to open their presents this year! Having kids at Christmas is the best! Merry Christmas ya'll!!!
