On Saturday, my mom, Hayden and I went shopping. Wow. What were we thinking? Bad enough that it was the day after Christmas, but adding a tired 4 year old was not smart. We left Livee with my grandmother, fortunately, but it was still a lot to deal with. We hit up Kohl's, where I used my Kohl's cash to purchase more frames for my walls (where I'm going to put them I don't know), and then we headed for the mall to pick up a couple of things. After a quick meal at Orange Julius, we went in search of deals. We found one. Oh well, can't have it all, right?
When we finally made it back to my grandmother's to pick up Livee, Hayden was asleep. He was so asleep that I got Livee, put her in the car, got home to my mom's, and we all got out of the car without waking him. Christmas is a hard holiday on little ones I think. Too much excitement and they either get sick or exhausted or both. Sunday we just spent the day at my mom's baking eggnog cupcakes and chocolate cake with fluff frosting and giving Hayden a much needed haircut.

On Monday we started cooking at around 10 am. We didn't eat until 5. Why does it take so long to fix a meal that only takes 15 minutes to eat??? My poor mother about worked herself down. Everything was absolutely delicious though and we had about 5 different desserts to choose from! After dinner, we opened up all of the gifts from my side. Hayden was super excited to get a dragon playset, a new robe, a monster puppet, a fireman's kit (the ax has since been put away), and lots of other surprises. Livee receive 2 baby dolls (which she LOVES), 4 or 5 cute outfits, and a play purse. She was asleep, so I had to open everything, but I'm sure she didn't mind! Overall, we had a great holiday!!!
