Christmas started out sort of rocky, however, as I was supposed to get out of work at 11 a.m. on Christmas Eve. The company, however, made a mistake with our checks and I waited until 1:30 p.m. hoping to get mine. But, they didn't end up coming until 3:30.
Needless to say, some people were not very happy.
I ran up to the house and packed up the car while also picking up Erika for her parents Christmas Eve party. We picked Kasey up at my parents and went over to the party. We usually have a pretty good time spending time with family and friends.
Kasey got his first Christmas present from her grandparents - a little car that he loves.
We left around 8:30 and sprinted home to get Kasey ready for bed and prepare for the arrival of Santa. We forgot our camera and video camera at her parents, though, so Erika drove all the way back to get it so we could have some photos of Christmas morning.
I was pretty anxious about the next morning because I went a little overboard this year for Erika. She purchased me a Wii last year - so I thought I had to get her back.
Before I ran up to bed, I got one of her presents of the garage (that her dad had delivered earlier for me) and put it on the porch for the morning.
Christmas morning came and Kasey got a ton of presents from Santa and mom and dad. He got a lot of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse toys, and of course the grandaddy of them all - his tricycle.
I had a very good Christmas as well - Santa Erika got me three Wii games (Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Wario Shake It and Lego Batman), a new wireless sensor bar and a cool new gaming chair (which I am still trying to figure out).
Erika got a Nintendo DS and a Mario Kart game for it, a case for it, the David Cook CD, an American Idol Wii game, slippers and a brand new bike. She had been throwing hints for awhile now that she wanted one - so I thought it was time. I think she enjoyed her gifts. And now we are even.
After tidying up a bit, we bolted to her parents for Christmas there. Erika's brother got us a very nice Steelers portrait that we need to find a place for. We also got a corner desk for our computer, once we get the room situated. Erika and I both got a Penn State beach towel, while Erika got a Penn State blanket and a new purse. Kasey got a ton of stuff - including some Little People gear and Sesame Street, well everything.
Then we rode up to her grandparents for breakfast (I was starving at this time) and some more Christmas. Kasey received some more cars, some books and a t-shirt. Erika and I got some money, while I got some movie passes.
Finally, we headed to my parents house for one final Christmas with my family. Kasey got a huge bouncy horse which I am trying to have stay at their house. And we are all going to see Elmo in Sesame Street Live. I got Sonic Unleashed for Wii, Scrubs Season 7, the new Indiana Jones movie and Dark Knight - and a new Steelers long sleave shirt..
I guess that's it. It was an amazing, yet tiring day. It always seems to be.
Have a great new year.
