Days after Christmas

Well Christmas has come and gone. So sad, I do love the holidays even though they drive me crazy at times.

I was finally able to get my apartment into some shape. It feels really great to see the apartment all nicely done. There is still work to do but at least it's getting done.

My husband and I have been able to set up my son's toddler bed in his room. Although there is some work to do in his bed, at least we are now able to walk into his room. His bed is all done up in the Disney movie Cars theme. He chose which character to put on is bed. We are still having trouble getting him to willingly sleep on the bed. What we do is get him to fall asleep in the living room and then we move him into his bed. My son sleeps all night in it and wakes up in the morning calling for his milk. Not bad. At least my husband and I are getting some quality time together :).

On Christmas Eve, we all got ready to go over my cousin's place where the family was getting together. I spent most of the day in the kitchen baking and doing some cooking. I made oatmeal raisin cookies for Santa, apparently Santa likes oatmeal raisin cookies. I've also made some sugar cookie cutouts. My son enjoyed cutting them out. Brownies were also on the menu and I made two batches. I love to make desserts.

On Christmas morning, my husband, son and I opened our gifts to each other. My son had a good time opening all his presents. My husband gave me purse, two soup bowls from my china, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie and a straightening iron. Love them. Afterwards, we all readied ourselves to go over my mother-in-law's place. We managed to get there early and my son was in a good mood, for once. We did our secret Santa and my husband surprised me with being my secret Santa. He gave me a beautiful necklace with a circle of diamond pendant. I've always wanted it but I didn't want to ask my husband for it. I loved it. I had to wear it then and there around my neck.

We got home and went to bed we were so tired. The next day my parents and sister's family came over for dinner. We had a great time. I was able to do a dinner party out of it. The clean up wasn't so bad with the help of my husband and sister.

We are now just vegetating here around the house. My son has no idea what to play with at any time. He's like a butterfly who keeps going from one toy to the next. Well this is it for now til the next time. Have a Happy New Year.
