Holiday Weekend plans?

I'm off tomorrow and Friday, so I thought I'd post this now! How are you all enjoying your holiday weekend?
Thursday: Taking DD to day care. Coming home and painting our basement bathroom (finally!). Doing some cleaning and laundry. I'm sure DH will be out of work early and will pick Stella up from day care. He will work on wrapping presents and keeping DD occupied while I paint. We're going to get coffee at DD and drive around to look at Christmas lights in the evening.
Christmas Eve: Finishing up our wrapping, hanging out with DD and hopefuly getting her some good naps. I have to finish making cake balls. Going to my parents for dinner (homemade pizzas, yum!) and gifts with my family.
Christmas: We will spend some time opening gifts with DD and our stockings. We only got her a toy box to fill with wrapping paper and the FP Laugh/Learn Barn. Then breakfast/gifts with the ILs, gifts/dinner with DH's grandparents. We'll go to my sisters for dessert. Whew. Next year we've already decided that we're staying home all day!
Sunday: Unwind from everything and just relax I hope!
DD1: 3/31/10
DD2: 9/7/11

Re: Holiday Weekend plans?
Christmas Eve Eve - This is usually when DH and I exchange gifts and have a special meal/dessert/movie watching/etc...we started when we were dating and had to travel all over W/CNY for parties. I also have to make blueberry pie and mac and cheese to bring to Rochester.
Christmas Eve - going to ILs in the am (Rochester) and having an immediate family exchange. The kids will take naps and then we'll all go the DH's aunts house for dinner and gift exchange. We're driving home that night.
Christmas Day - nothing, yeah!!!! gift exchange.
My parents will be coming up at some point next week - they were going to come up and help us work on the house but since we haven't closed yet...who knows what's gonna happen.
Thursday- Working 5-12ish.. DH is off.. Probably gonna finish up some wrapping and any last minute shopping during the day.
Friday- DH is off, I work 12-6, Then we all (Everyone, my parents, ILs, SIL and her BF) go to my sisters for dinner and some gifts.
Saturday- Things are still a little up in the air. I hope that Jeff and Eve and I can have some time in the morning to just hang out in our PJs and do presents.. Then we probably are going to church with the ILs (MIL totally gave me an out and told me that we dont' have to go, but I know DH is going to insist).. Then we'll head to my parents house and do dinner/gifts with them.. and then go to my ILs and do a later dinner/gifts with them.. I always fall asleep at some point on someone's couch or something on christmas day because its so exhausting
Sunday- We are both off - YAY! I am hoping to go out early-ish to like Target and get some after-christmas clearance decorations.. And my friends who live OOT are in town and we are going to get together with them. Not sure if they'll just come here or we'll go out somewhere, but I'm definiltey looking forward to Sunday.

Next Wednesday - my Mom and Step-Dad will be coming for dinner and to do presents with the kids.
Next Saturday - my Father and Step-Mother will be coming for dinner and to do presents with the kids.
Thursday: Finishing up whatever workstuff I don't do tonight then on break. Clean the house and pick up a few last minute things for gifts. Shop for food
Christmas Eve: Dinner with my parents at my house. It's always meatless so it's a pasta. Exchange presents, call family that is out of town

I am working all weekend.

Christmas-opeining gifts and breakfast. Skype with my family. Work 3-midnight
sunday-work 10-6
Today: Working, luncheon in the afternoon with my department head and staff, then picking Ian up from daycare, heading home to pack with the speed of lightening and hope that I don't forget anything, then it's off to Watertown for the weekend to spend Christmas with the in-laws.
Tomorrow: Hoping to tire Ian out in the snow so he takes a good nap, then Christmas Eve mass, followed by dinner at DH's aunt's house. Head back to DH's dad's house, sprinkle some 'reindeer food', read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas", put out cookies for Santa, then ship him off to bed.
Saturday: Open presents, then head to DH's sister's house to drop off gifts and visit, then back to DH's dad's house to relax and have dinner. Will probably head over to his aunt's house again at some point.
Sunday: Nothing much planned, just hang around the house and maybe go to the mall to buy presents for DH's great-nephew (ack!) born on Tuesday.
Heading home Monday, and hope to enjoy the rest of my week off!
