Sam woke up this morning around 6 and waited till 7 to wake me up. He jumped on the bed yelling "it's christmas!!! wake up!!!" So I got up, and we got ready to go down to Mom and Dad's house. We spent the morning there and had an awesome time. Then we went over to Sam's dad's house to have brunch with them. After brunch we drove back to our house, tidied up a little bit, and drove back to mom and dad's house for dinner. All the while the dog was with us. She did so good in the car all day- I was so impressed, and pleasantly surprised. We were nervous to bring her to meet Alice, but as long as Sam or I was there with her, she did fine. It was SOO cute to see Alice play fetch with Betty. Also adorable- when alice went over to sam and asked to sit on his lap.
As good as Christmas was, Christmas eve was that chaotic. We woke up to Betty peeing on her blanket... so we punished her, took her out, and threw her blanket in the washer. Once our washer hit the rinse cycle, we were in for a nasty surprise. Water started spraying out of the back of the washer, and our kitchen started flooding. We got all the dirty towels in the house, threw them on the floor and spent the morning sqeegie-ing the water into the towels. Then we did our dishes. We had a goal to completely clean our kitchen by christmas day. It was a daunting task when you consider we don't have a dishwasher, or garbage disposal, and our water only stays hot enough to do dishes for about 45 minutes at a time. Not to mention, ever dish in our house was dirty. It took us most of the morning, but we did finish the dishes! We had to go to the store to do some last minute christmas shopping, and before we left we decided to take out the pup. She instantly rolled in some poo and we had to give her a bath.
It has been a hectic couple of days, but it's been a lot of fun! Merry Christmas everyone!
