Merry Christmas!!!

I was so happy for Christmas to finally be here!! Shopping, as fun as it is, is also so stressful. The older the kids get, the harder it is to decide what to get them. My kids aren't interested in very much besides video games. Sometimes I think that they play them too much but sometimes I'm just like whatever. They could be doing much worse. They get excellent grades in school and are well behaved for the most part, so let them have their video games.

They were very excited to open their gifts. Deja's big gift was a computer for her room. She was so happy and couldn't wait to get it set up. Oddly, she was equally excited about a flash drive that I got her. Jalen's big gift was a PSP. He has been asking for one all year. I think he mostly wanted it because Jay got one last year. Tayveon's big gift was a Nintendo DS. And Jay's big gift was a laptop. They were all happy with their gifts and I was happy that the gifts keep them busy!!

After cleaning up all the wrapping paper and making sure everything was open and set up, it was time to start cooking. For Christmas dinner this year we decided to have Prime Rib. Keisa was going to make the Prime Rib and I was going to make the sides. I made red potatoes, collard greens, aparagus, cheesecake, brownies, and rolls. I also fried some catfish.

I had a great Christmas. I was glad to have Keisa and her family there to spend Christmas dinner with. And I was glad that Jay was able to visit for the holiday.
