Journal - Sunday - Christmas Day

What a wonderful day...i had all four of my children (and their spouses) under my roof for the entire day.  i'm absolutely exhausted, the menu was crazy, everyone wanted a different entree so we had, pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin, ham and an awesome vegetarian tofu brussel sprout dish. Add in the stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, sweet potatoe casserole, rolls, mac and cheese, Zia's salad, homemade italian bread, cranberry sauce, chocolate tuxedo cake and pecan pie.....yep, a full menu and two loads of dishes in the dishwasher.  We ended up with two extra kids, #3's roommate and one of our former foster sons. 

After dinner the boys and a few other family members settled in to play poker and we women hit the family room to watch Straw Dogs...the plot was weak but looking at Alexander Skaarsgard was worth it!

This i could lick....

i'm quickly blogging before i head to bed, i'm exhausted on so many levels, the stress of putting on the day is with me, i love having them here but i always worry that i'm going to forget something.  Oh, i forgot to mention that i got some wonderful Lush bath products, a Witches Daily Planner, the Twilight BluRay, and a gift card to Hot Topic....and since Sir received a BluRay player we are all set!

i hope everyone had a nauty holiday!
