Week of Christmas

I have really good reasons for not blogging for so long. The week leading up to Christmas was total chaos for me. It started with hosting Marc's work party. Granted it wasn't at my house, but I was in charge of getting all the staff multiple gift cards from all over the mall. Love my hubby for giving me this job the day of the party. I really will do anything for him. We had his office party at Cafe Boa on Mill ave. It was really nice. That was Friday night. Now onto Saturday....Amelia had 2 yes 2 dance recitals that day. One in the afternoon and one in the evening. She was performing in the Spirit of Christmas that was running at Chandler Center for the Arts. Between shows we had to hit a Christmas party at one of our best friends house. Amelia and I left the party went to her 2ND show and back to the party. Marc left the party when I got there to go pick up my brother from the airport. On to Sunday. Josh had to be dressed and ready to go for his play by 8:30 am. His big debut took place at Tempe Market Place. He was great!!! I somehow managed to delete all of the pictures of this great day. It was so awesome that so many friends and family came out to support him. That made him and I feel like a million bucks. After the 2ND play we went to my brother and sister in laws house for their annual Christmas party. Can I just say this is one of my highlights of Christmas. They make all of the food from scratch and don't even blink an eye. My family and my sister in laws family all come. It is so cool that we can chill with everyone and know her family too. Monday we hosted our neighborhood party at our house. Of course it was raining. At this point I am ready to shoot myself. I am dead. Done. But wait we still have to host Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Christmas Eve is always so fun. We act out the story of Christ, have a Mexican feast and exchange presents with Marc's family. Christmas Day we have my family over. The rule on Christmas day with my family is you can't wear any make-up or do your hair. P.J.'s are optional. Marc always makes a ham and prime rib. Wow, I am tired just from writing everything I did. I know this is a boring post but it is more of a journal entry for me. Now for the highlight. I got a new dog!!!! Christmas morning our door bell rang. Amelia answered the door and a box was sitting there. It said open. She did and a little maltipoo puppy jumped out. Her name is Ruby. I couldn't be happier. Marc said someone must really hate him for doing this. I just said you must have been bad this year. Santa obviously thought I have been good. Really good.
