Our Christmas was pretty quiet. Christmas Eve we went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was delicious and free thanks to a gift card from my papa. We need to work on an actual plan for next year because it didn't really feel like Christmas.
On Christmas morning Eva had three presents to open which took about 10 minutes and that was that.
She opened a Mr. Potato Head (my friend gave it to Eva for her birthday but I saved it for Christmas. She had enough presents at her birthday. I’m a tyrant like that.)
And a book and an outfit from Grandma Maas.
We also put a new pair of shoes and some necklaces in her stocking. She was thrilled with the necklaces and looked at the shoes in disgust.
My parents bought her swimming lessons. We begin those in January and I’m really excited about it.
We were having a few friends over for dinner so I spent the rest of the day stressing about the meal and yelling at Michael when things weren’t turning out correctly. Next year I am not making a big meal. Next year I hope to be with family building a puzzle and eating a cheese ball instead. Michael deserves something for putting up with my shenanigans all day so I’m making him a loaf of bread this morning as a peace offering.
As our gift to ourselves, we bought a box of chocolates and I ate nearly half of them in one sitting. This morning Eva was enjoying her share.
She may look like her father, but she has the refined palate of her mother.
