September is a month of celebration in our household.  Between our anniversary, the blogiversary, and Momma’s birthday we usually get to go out to dinner, usually the bar, and I get to have 3 easy blog post topics.  😀

So, today is Momma’s birthday.  She is *cough* twenty-nine *cough*.  No, really she is!  And she will probably remain this age for the rest of her life.   Isn’t that how most women do it?  😀

Tonight, Momma is having a Girls Only party for a few hours (and so that means, by default, the guys get a Guys Only party too). 

Then later, we are all going out on the town together to do some bar hoppin’…consume more (insert your poison of choice) than we probably should…get a little bit crazy…probably indulge in some bad dancing…and if all works out we’ll stumble our sweaty, crunk, giggling selves to our hotel rooms before they start spinning for the night.  😀

So, here’s to my wonderful wife…the stay-at-home mother of our child…Momma! 

Happy Birthday Momma!  Put your party hat on…tonight is gonna be fun!

PS:  And a special “Thank You” goes out to Grandma S for babysitting for the night!  😀

So the festivities have begun.  Christmas for us involves trekking hundreds of miles over a period of two weekends.  Grandma H’s house was tonight.  I had to work, so I arrived after dinner and met Momma and Ace there.

Ace unwrapped two or three gifts and then was too busy playing with his toys to unwrap any more.  Grandma and Grandpa H go all out for Christmas.  We had the entire back of Momma’s SUV full of toys and clothes, not to mention part of the back seat.

And it was COLD tonight!

Negeative One Degrees Acording To The Thermometer In My Truck

The multiple trips from the house to the car was just about more of the negativity than I could take.

We let our vehicles warm up in the driveway for over 20 minutes, and they still were not throwing any hot air when we left!

So what is our plan for the next week?

– Christmas Eve go to Grandma and Grandpa S’s house (For presents only).
– Then stroll a few blocks away to Granny and Pop’s house.
– Early Christmas morning get up and open the presents at our house.
– Still early Christmas morning, drive to Great Grandma W’s house (1.5 hour drive).
– Christmas afternoon drive back to Grandma and Grandpa S’s House for dinner and big family Christmas.  (Another 1.5 hour drive).
– Then on Saturday go back to Grandma and Grandpa S’s House for another small Christmas celebration. (Out of town family coming in)
– And finally on Sunday we go to Grandma O and Grandpa H’s house (another 1.5 hour drive)  for their Christmas celebration.

Oh, by the way…I am working mandatory overtime on Saturday and Sunday, so I wil be doing all of this after working 12+ hours.

How does your Christmas scedule compare?  Is our schedule more hectic than yours?  If not we will trade.  😀

Signed,

Merry and Happy

Hangin' In There...
