We have now had two different flights canceled from two different airlines but he is currently booked on a third flight that is supposed to actually make it in tonight. Fingers crossed that third time's the charm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399845 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 18:36:40 +0000 Autumnmama79 2399845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: oh no! Where is he travelling from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399834 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 18:26:48 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2399834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well - it's taken a turn. DH's flight got cancelled and its questionable if he'll make it here tonight. It's DD's first Christmas tomorrow morning. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399831 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 18:16:07 +0000 Autumnmama79 2399831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking with the little this morning, bought a couple last minute gifts and then put in a big order at Aritzia as their sale started today! Bonus they were offering same day shipping in my city :grin: Just got home from shezuan lunch and waiting for my order to be delivered...</p> <p>Today is just so exciting! Can't beat the excitement of kids at Christmas time :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399826 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 17:51:54 +0000 MaisyMay 2399826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and LO are driving down to see family without me. We celebrated LO's birthday (turned 3 today) with breakfast out, did an errand, and then they left while I headed to work. </p> <p>I work today (1/2 day) and then Saturday, so it's going to be a very quiet tomorrow for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399824 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 17:46:51 +0000 Alba4 2399824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid woke up at 7:30, which is the latest he's ever slept! It was a great start! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399813 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 16:33:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2399813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great! DD slept until 8:45. Then DH and I went out for a couple hours while my mom watched her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399795 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 16:01:27 +0000 deerylou 2399795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been a relaxing morning, especially since DH is off! DD woke up around 7:30, which is fairly typical. A good friend came by for coffee and panettone around 9, and we've been baking and decorating cookies, on and off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399793 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:47:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 2399793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got up at her normal time but DH took her and I slept in until 9. Then I made cake, went to MIL and ate chips and salsa and champagne for lunch. So, pretty good so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399780 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:16:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2399780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The girls slept until 9:00 and I was tipsy by 11:00 a.m. </p> <p>So............good?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399779 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:11:17 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2399779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: L has a bit of a cold so she was in bed early around six. The baby went to bed at 7:30 like normal. Not sure why they blessed me this morning but I feel amazing today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399778 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:11:06 +0000 Miss Sarah 2399778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went to the doctor with 5 week old DD who has had diarrhea and vomiting for 24 hours. :crying: I'm not feeling so hot myself... This isn't a great first Christmas for our little family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399776 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 15:06:04 +0000 Canoli 2399776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: me !!!!!! I'm thinking maybe Santa won't be wrapping presents this year. I just have no motivation to wrap at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399772 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:56:31 +0000 Mae 2399772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good! We had a lot to do today and I was nervous about getting everything done before my family came over this afternoon. Our toddler was (mostly) unexpectedly awesome and ran around playing mostly without our help while I cooked and DH cleaned. Which means during nap instead of rushing around we're just sitting doing nothing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started/page/2#post-2399759 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:25:15 +0000 FaithFertility 2399759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: So jealous of that sleep, what time do hey go to bed?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399758 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:24:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2399758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Us!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399751 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:06:55 +0000 MamaG 2399751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took a trip the dr. LO woke last night complaining of her ears hurting. Yippee, ear infection. I've mixed up some cookies to make for Santa, but have to bake them yet. I've really been struggling with Christmas this year.</p> <p>Who has presents to wrap tonight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399746 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:02:03 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2399746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great! DD considered waking up at 8:30 (cried twice) then rolled over and went back to sleep until 10 am! So I got to sleep in! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399744 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:00:00 +0000 fancyfunction 2399744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was up a few times last night which is abnormal for her so our sleep was a bit off. But we had a nice French toast breakfast, drove to Arthur Ave in the Bronx for some bread and cookies, had lunch there and now have meatballs, sausage and sauce simmering on the stove. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399742 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 13:57:31 +0000 PawPrints 2399742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We woke up at EIGHT THIRTY this morning (????!!!) I had to look at the clock like four times to make sure I was reading it correctly. I have no idea if LO actually slept that late or if she was just chilling in her crib for an hour before her chatter got loud enough to wake us. Not complaining! (I think it was probably the latter; when I put her down for her first nap, she was mega cranky and cried for a few minutes before falling asleep, which is incredibly unusual, so I think she was overtired.)</p> <p>Since she went down for her nap, we've been drinking coffee, had Muppet Christmas Carol on tv, and DH is cooking Ina Garten's beef bourguignon with farmer's market beef &amp; bacon in prep for Christmas dinner tomorrow. My dog got super scared when he lit the cognac on fire and ran out of the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399732 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 13:45:31 +0000 birdofafeather 2399732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pretty good, my sister came to help me with the girls and provide adult companionship since DH is working today. DD1 did declare that she wants to "be a mean girl" today, so we'll see. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399709 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 12:46:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2399709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: fun!!! We had to turn on our AC last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399684 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 12:08:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 2399684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ugh, it will be better before you know it!! The beginning is so so hard </p> <p>Mine has been ok except for a grumpy DH that sorta rubbed off on me. Boo hiss. He seems to be snapping out of it at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399672 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 12:01:14 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2399672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: ugh! I hope yall feel better soon!<br /> @MrsLilybugg: we're doing better than we were earlier this week but it's so so sad to hear my 8 month old coughing up a lung. And she still has "sick eyes". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399663 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 11:47:34 +0000 Greentea 2399663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I didn't get any sleep because there was a storm last night and my dog was barking :( all.night.long. intermittently at the storm. We tried everything. :(</p> <p>Then I got overwhelmed because I still have to clean and had to get ready for a party and don't have my presents finished (not wrapped) for the party or for tomorrow. AH! So I did the dishes and took a shower at least, and am going to try to let it go until DH gets home. I want to remember it is about time with family, not a perfectly mopped floor etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399656 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 11:27:30 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2399656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did our Christmas today since we are heading to see family for a few days. </p> <p>It was great. Opened gifts and had breakfast. Told my dad about baby number 2 :) </p> <p>Heading out soon and getting McDonald's on the way! And my brother is going to be at my moms who I haven't seen since June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399648 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 11:00:16 +0000 wrkbrk 2399648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uneventful so far! DS slept well last night (no squeaking as I call it between his two feeding times overnight) and DW's parents are on their way over to watch him so we can pick up some Christmas Eve appetizers for tonight. I'm pumping and DS is sound asleep in his swing! Baby's first Christmas! But baby has no idea what's going on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-your-christmas-eve-started#post-2399646 Thu, 24 Dec 2015 11:00:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2399646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not great. Baby is a week old today and we are having a rough go of it. But then my toddler just loves her so so much and that helps so much. But oh I'm tired. </p> <p>Therefore the toddler is watching Daniel tiger in a dirty diaper while I nurse the baby. </p>
