Happy Homemaker Monday - 12/25/2023

Good morning and Merry Christmas!

 

I am coming to you with about 4 hours of sleep, so excuse any random babbling or misspelling or anything that may seem weird. I blame the tiredness that is running through my body at the moment. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with family, lots of delicious food and party games which always end up in laughing until your stomach hurts. 

 

We didn't get to bed until 2am, and I was up at 4:30 when our rooster decided he wanted out of the coop.  I do hope I'll get in a nap sometime today. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all and your families. 

 

Let's get on with our last Happy Homemaker Monday of  2023.

On what I want to do today, I am for sure getting rid of one of our trees, which Elliott has been shamelessly torturing for weeks. He's usually very good, but this year, he has an issue with our white tree LOL

Tired and sore. My lower back and feet still hurt from the full day of cooking yesterday, hence why I need a nap sometime today.
