Christmas is over, somewhat

Christmas is 'officially' over but we still have 2 Christmas' to celebrate at home. We've been in Kingsport for Christmas. Our last up here on actual Christmas due to Blaylock. He's in to upwrapping the presents and stuff and starting to understand so Christmas will be home next year.

We went to both the grandparents in Kingsport and an Uncle's house. Needless to say, we've all ate too much food and are in need of a diet, exercise or something. We are glad to be home to relax for a few days. THe holiday hubdub always makes us tired and lazy and fat.

Blay is not feeling well right now and may have to go to the doctor. I think it is the crazy weather but who knows. He's got a cough and nasal drip. We'll see if he gets any better over the next couple days.

We hope all of you had a good Christmas and will have a fun New Year!

I know...

I said I would post pictures yesterday but Blay and I played all day and packed some for our upcoming trips.

Last night, he stayed with our neighbor, dubbed 'NaeNae' and her two kids while I went to dinner with my best bud Stef (aka Tigger) and our annual Christmas ornament exchange. She got me the cutest snowman family (of 3) and a UT ornament. Both are hanging on the tree proudly. I got her a Willow Tree ornament. We usually try to get each other an ornament that has meaning to to the other. It is a fun tradition.

After dinner, I went back to .... WalMart, again. I went to search for cat food, again, that they did not have again so I bought a different kind so T wouldn't starve. I also wrapped up buying and picking up the rest of the Christmas presents last night. After I got home, feed Blay a premeal snack, put on his warm fleece pj's and tucked him in bed, I got to wrapping. It only took me, oh, about 2 1/2 hours to finish everyone's!!! I'm so glad I am done.

Blay is currently taking his second nap of the day. I'm trying to get him down to one nap but he doesn't seem to feel well today. He'll be well rested for daddy to come home in a couple hours though.

Blay will open his Christmas from 'Santa' tomorrow morning, after he eats breakfast first. I'll post some pictures of that when I can. Enjoy the pics below though....

Sorry folks

Hey guys, I am sorry I haven't posted anything in 10 days, and when I said I would!! John has been off of work most of last week and we have been shopping, shopping, and more shopping. Aren't women supposed to enjoy shopping??? I haven't all that much and I've had help with Blay. I am currently tired of shopping! I think I have finished it all anyways. I've got to double check our list.

Wednesday last week, John, Blay, and myself went shopping, had a family picture made with Santa and went to the Christmas banquet at church where Blay once again saw Santa. Thursday and Friday we stayed home to clean, etc. Saturday we went back out for Blay's second flu shot, more shopping, and then lunch at McD's before my neice Gabby's 2nd birthday party. Blay had a blast but we had to leave at 2 so we could get him home for his daily nap (which was late).

We had my parents over last night and my step mom's parents over along with my nephew Elijah, and my newly engaged sister and future brother in law. I tried a new recipe of White Bean Chicken Chili. I had to wake Blay up for dinner and the company. Between being out all day and playing from the birthday party and the shot, he was exhausted. He went to bed at 9 last night too.

Blay got to open a couple presents last night from his Mamaw and Papaw little. He did good opening them and I was surprised. Once he saw the Backyardigans guitar though, he didn't want to finish taking the paper off.

Today we went to church, Walmart (for like the 4th or 5th time this week..I know sad huh), Ross's, Kohl's and then home. Blay was so tired he went to sleep in the car with a french fry in one hand and 1/2 his cheeseburger in the other hand. He slept about 2 1/2 hours before he got up to eat his late lunch and we took off to church again!

Now, he's sleeping, I'm cold (and listening to the horrible wind blowing outside0, getting ready to do the dishes, and wrap some more Christmas presents. Tomorrow, I am going to post pictures I've taken over the last week, including the pictures of him opening his presents last night. I'm also going to upload November pictures to Picasa for all to see!

Everyone stay warm tonight!!!!
