Day after Christmas

Well it's the day after Christmas, the hubby is off to work and I am at the house cleaning up the mess. What a wonderful Christmas we had! B definitely spoiled me, and got me everything I need to pursue my photography. There is no better feeling in the world than to know you are supported 100%. That is just one reason out of the hundreds why I love my husband. Why is it that we don't like change? For the past 25 years my family tradition is to spend Christmas Eve with my Dad's side of the family. But this year my Grandma wasn't up for it so B and I spent it with his family. We went to dinner at Julies and then to the 7pm church service. Everything was wonderful and the change wasn't so bad. I just couldn't help but to miss my family. B gave me a big hug and told me "change is good and its time to start our own traditions" (he is always so positive which is another reason why I love him). I also volunteered myself to do the dessert for the Christmas dinner. Tip #1, always READ and FOLLOW the directions carefully. I made things difficult for myself when I grabbed the wrong ingredient for the dessert and drove around frantically to four stores Christmas Eve night just to find them all closed for the holiday. Thank goodness Mrs. Becky saved me when she dumped all of the missing ingredients into a baggy. Note to self: "Just because you look cute when you bake...doesn't mean its going to taste great". Christmas day was an early one. Wake up at 7am, shower, open presents, down two cups of coffee, play with the Poo, off to the In-Laws, breakfast, open presents, drink champagne punch (yummy), hugs, kisses, off to my Mothers, glass of wine, open presents, Yahtzee tournament (i came in second, the hubby was 1st place), few bites of a roast beef sandwich, off to the Grandparents, hugs, kisses, sing, dance, laugh, laugh, laugh, glass of wine, dinner, dessert, gift exchange, laugh, laugh, laugh, head home, unpack car, attempt to clean...didn't last long, bed!
