Christmas is all said and done. As usual it didn't really feel like the holidays to me. Working surrounded by christmas decorations and even buying and wrapping gifts didn't seem to help. I'm sure being sick practically the entire month of December didn't help. If it wasn't some crazy respiratory virus then it was some crazy stomach funk that traveled from Ruby to me and finally to Heath. I think *knock on wood* that we are all better now and will hopefully stay that way for a while. 

For Christmas we did the usual, went down to H's parent's house and opened gifts on Christmas Eve. Ruby was surprisingly so NOT into the whole thing. She was being a major pain during dinner and then while we were opening gifts she was throwing things and just being a little brat. I seriously wanted to be like, That's it. No more presents! A quick swat on the butt and a time-out, while everyone else continued to open gifts, and she was okay….Sort of. Thankfully we were near the end of opening gifts, we cleaned up, and scooted her off to bed.

Ruby got several gifts, including lots of Play Dough, some clothes, and a new pair of glittery shoes, but she was most excited about the stuffed Target dog that I won at work. Proving, once again, that you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a toddler happy.

The next day we went to H's cousin's house, had a late lunch, opened a few gifts and then it was time to head home. Ruby fell asleep within two minutes of getting in the car so it was a nice, quiet ride home. The day after was crazy at work and then I made the wrong decision to head to the mall afterwards. I waited for a while at GAP to buy some things for Ruby for next winter (an additional 50% off clearance, Whoo!). Thankfully, I didn't want Starbucks…The line was about 3 store fronts long!

Oh, and Ruby turned 3 on the 17th...

Did you know Dairy Queen makes ice cream cupcakes? They're awesome!
and had her 3-year check up today. 30 lbs and 37.5", 50th percentile  across the board. She had one shot but she took that pretty well, thankfully.

And, yeah, this has pretty much been my December. Sick, work, Ruby's birthday, and Christmas. I hope everyone is well and had a great Christmas!

I hope you are all feeling great now. I think Christmas is hard for kids in many ways. I know my kids get a bit anxious about Santa, plus they likely pick up on my stress - I'm something of a nightmare when I'm planning for events. You are brave to hit the mall after Christmas. I'm too lazy!
