Day after Xmas...

                    

Hello Everyone,
So it's the day after Xmas how did everyone enjoy theirs? I hope all my J-land friends all got exactly what it was they wished for!
My Xmas was simple yet sweet. We all decided to go to my bro's house who lives in Long Island. It was a long ride on the LIRR but eventually we got there and everything was fine. We spent the night over there. My mom cooked us all a great dinner. She cooked all that food by herself! I was proud of her. After that we watched Harry Potter(The Order of the Phoenix)..... Well actually the kids watched it because us adults were too busy making jokes LOL... Everybody had a joke to say about Ben and I because we are in LOVE LOL.... Hey its not my fault everybody doesn't share what we do LOL...
Ben had a few drinks so you know he was happy... After awhile everybody started to wind down and one by one they went to bed LOL... Ben and I stood up watching the Christmas Mass together.
The next morning the kids woke up early(figures) I did not want to get up... But eventually I had no choice as I had 3 kids jumping on my back LOL..... My kids really didn't have too much to open since I only took one gift each from home. I had told them all month long that Santa was not bringing them anything since they didn't know how to behave. So as you can imagine they were a lil disapointed. But I must say that they weren't as upset as I thought they would be. I guess they knew that they really didn't deserve anything.
We had breakfast... and then I started getting them ready so that we could catch the LIRR home. I wanted to get home early so that we could just spend time just us, before Ben had to go to work the next day.
Little did my kids know that Ben and I had a surprise for them at home. When we got here we acted like normal. We ate dinner and then I told them to go clean their rooms. While they were doing that Ben and I took down and separated all their gifts. We then called them and acted like they were in trouble. When they walked into the kitchen they were shocked! LOL.... Needless to say they were very very happy! They loved what they got!. In fact so much so that they have not gotten all my nerves as of yet LOL...Too busy playing with their new stuff.
 
Well that was my Xmas. I was happy just seeing my kids and family happy. Today I am going to pamper myself LOL... I am going to go get a mani and pedi done. Then after that I am going to get my eyebrows waxed(ouch!) The things we go thru to look pretty huh?
Well that's about it for now.. I am going to go get ready...
Until next time......
