Three peas and their iPods...

Actually it's two iPods and an iPhone, if anyone cares to question the photo above. Yes. It was a very Apple Christmas around here. And while this is what it looked like when I tried to crawl into bed on Christmas night, there was a whole lot of unplugged time that went on as well.

And since I must have listened to Julie Andrew sing about her raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens at least 347 times since November 11, I thought I'd let her in on a few of our favorite things...

This massaging foot spa that Santa brought BB for her tired dancing feet has been a major hit. Once she finished soaking her own piggies, she opened up her own salon and offered pedicures to everyone who has walked through the front door. I think she's earned enough for college already. Must be from the tips she's getting from BSD. She dims the lights. Serves him wine and chocolates. Queues up his favorite songs on Pandora. And let's him soak for a good long while before massaging his feet. If this dancing thing doesn't pan out, the girl's got a future as an aesthetician. Either that or she's sure to woo any guy she chooses with all this pampering she's practicing.

And what could be better than playing with a three story Barbie Townhouse? With an elevator? And a rooftop jacuzzi? How about playing with a three story Barbie Townhouse. With an elevator. And a rooftop jacuzzi. While listening to your Mommy's new iPod Touch. That she let you bling out with your own bejewelled case. And load up with all the apps and music. That your  little heart desires. That your $10 gift card can buy.

And then there's the mug. Gotta love it when your hubby's favorite gift is a gawdy $13 coffee mug. Because it has a picture of Wonder Woman on it. Because he has a Wonder Woman fetish. Because he thinks his wife is Wonder Woman. I may not be the richest girl in Virginia Beach, but I am the luckiest.

It was a mellow Christmas at home. We spent the entire day in our pj's. We even ate dinner. In the dining room. With the special Christmas china. Wearing our pj's. aaahhhh.

And just like LB said, I got the things on my list...

"Daddy coming home. And peace and quiet."

Well, maybe not so much of the peace and quiet...

I hope you all had a very, Merry Christmas surrounded by those you love also. We're gearing up for New Year's Eve. We're ready for another great bash this year! How about you? Any rockin' New Year's Eve plans?
