Christmas Eve at my house

Entry for December 24, 2007

My kids are here and I haven't taken one picture of them. We talk though and laugh, and that is good for me. Last night they were playing with my lappy. Alex asked how to turn on the cam, so I told him and he got it turned on. I left to put on my jams and say good night. When I came back in the living room to tell them one more thing, there they were, with the laptop in their lap, making faces at themselves like two little kids. I started laughing so hard I didn't even make a sound. then Alex went to a chat room. Of course, it was under my name, with that one pic of me on the day i had my hair done and put on makeup. All of a sudden he starts getting all these IM's from purvey men all over the place, Germany, India, everywhere. I was busting up, and so was Claire. they are all talking to him like it was me, and he is answering them. then he invited them to view his cam. they all said yes, thinking they would be seeing a female. As soon as they saw him, I'm sure they all gagged from what they thought they were gonna see and do, and then clicked off. I was in bed by this time, but I could still hear them in here laughing. Its stuff like this that is worth bringing them home. Alex and I have the same kind of sense of humor, and we laugh at the same stuff. Claire gets both of us and is the perfect match for Alex.

So today is Christmas eve. We are having our big dinner today so the kids can eat at both homes. We are having tri tip, and spiral cut ham with the trimmings. I will be making buttermilk biscuits to go with our dinner. I love these. I made two pumpkin pies this morning, and this time the crust will be good. they are out of the oven, and look good enough to eat right now. All they need is the whipped cream. And yes, I do whip my own cream. It doesn't come out of a tub or a can. Not with this pie. I love to bake, can you tell. I made cookies the other day, and half of them will be going home with the kids. those two are lucky. We invited Claire's mom over for dinner tonight, I hope she comes over, it should be fun.

Tomorrow morning we will open the gifts from sandy claws, then have a big ole fat breakfast. I think/know i have a new camera under the tree, along with the set of planet earth CD set. That is all i know that i have under there, only cus I wrapped them. I went yesterday and bought john a new leather jacket. I am really excited about all this. I love presents. I love shopping for presents. its is fun to get them, but shopping for them and watching them being opened is just fun.

OK, John is about to leave, so I have to wrap this up, hahahhhaha, wrap this up.........., oh sometimes I crack myself up. I have to go, got to mop the floor now that the house will be empty for a minute. the kids are off doing stuff too. OK, Merry Christmas to all of you.
