Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse (thank goodness- because we have all heard the legends);
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
While visions of Sugar Plums danced in their heads;
When I thought of this legendary poem tonight I thought "how funny how your definitions of these things change!".
I don't know about the writers from locations other than 8 Alondra, but have we had a night! We thought since we had less than 5 (yes FIVE) gifts to wrap, it would be a nice early Christmas Eve. BOY were WE wrong!
It has been a beautiful evening! After enjoying a yummy prime rib dinner (thanks Tiff and Lan and helpers),
(Pics to come)caroling to the neighbors,
the nativity narrated by Brighton,
Opening our PJs,
and of course finishing the dishes, we all started our posts. Who knew it would take so long? We are now down to the final two. Tiff and I are wrapping up. Dad just finished (it is 2 am). At about 10 he said he would just do it tomorrow because his wasn't done yet. After many tears and laughs- dad finished typing and posting all by himself (with a little help from Spell check and Lani). 
Merry Christmas to all... and to all a good night!
We had not heard the legends of the mouse! Crazy! I think I might have stayed up till 2am just to avoid some scurrying on my face while I sleep.
ReplyDeleteGross!!!! I just read the mouse story. First of all, whos blog is that? Second...NASTY!!!! Third...I am supposed to be going there in a few days...Char...Can we sleep at your house? Forth, when they were talking about the men all screaming like girls it reminded me of the bat!!! Fifth...Lani thanks for this post to let us all know what you all were doing last night. That photo of dad in front of the computer is priceless. Savvy is so cute!!! I have to admit...I am a bit jealous I was not there.
ReplyDeleteChar, I see that you are holding the video camera in your hand for Brightos narration. When will that be posted to your blog?
ReplyDeleteI just clicked on the photo of the Children all snug in their beds. So cute that they are sleeping holding hands. I love that man!
ReplyDeleteWE did have a lot of fun last night getting these ready with no wireless and 3 computers. Also... notice Cole picking his nose in the nativity picture. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a very fun Christmas Eve. I think my husband got on the bad list with dad though because he asked where the head dresses were for caroling. :)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! That is so funny Hock!
