Dd had a rough Christmas because she wasn't in the moment and could feel that.
Dgs didn't go to sleep for any length of time so the evening fizzled.
Tomorrow will be another long day and I'm anxious for bed. Poor ds was off to work for 10 hours. I've told him not to come tomorrow except he can come for dinner if he chooses.
Dd has asked to take our car again tomorrow night (she has it now) and return it in the day on Wednesday. I should remind her it will need gas long before then, probably tomorrow.
The check engine light is on and we have the computer thingy to clear that but will do that tomorrow. I'm assuming I've fixed the problem (loose gas cap) and that we'll just clear the problem not have to take it in to a mechanic. This has happened 2x before so I know the drill pretty well. That's the joy of hanging out on auto forums, I'm holding a ton of car trivia in my head.
Dd and family will show up here at lunch time tomorrow. No idea when W & R will show up. We have a ton of meat leftover from the turkey so there will be a lot of leftovers plus the tourtiere meatloaf for tomorrow night after the party.
Dgs got one of the giant play kitchens and is loving it. You could tell because up until he started playing with it, he was busy trying to undecorate the tree. Once that revealed, he stood next to the tree but was ignoring it and playing with the kitchen instead. It has doors to open, bins to put and pull out, and dishes to put away on shelves. When he's bigger he'll be able to reach up to the microwave and fridge.
At my place he got the wagon which he seemed to like as well. Dsil took dd and dgs for a ride in it (capacity is 300 pounds and she's barely 100.)
He has a lot more words. Book (without the K), brrrr (for cold) and other things we recognize, like Kara for Klara his stuffed doll. He blows kisses and he waves good bye. Dd had helped herself to some mulled cider and I asked her if it was warm enough and dgs said Brrrr. When I was taking off his sweater to get him ready for his bath, he kept saying Brrrr and trying to put it back on! So he has the idea of warm and cold.
It was a good day but I'm far too tired. And tomorrow will be a bigger day. So I'm off to bed now.
