Close Your Eyes... Breathe: It's all over.....2010

So yeah it's finally ALL OVER!!! All the stress that so comes with the holidays are now going. It is sad to say this but had to been one of the most stressful, unexciting, long and drawn out holidays I have ever had to experience. The only good part of block leave this year was seeing Connor's face on Christmas, oh how I love that little boy!!! And yet the worse was having Curtis got back to work:(

So Curtis made sure that the Christmas tree was down by Dec 31st......first because he says that there shouldn't be a tree up for the New Years party and stuff. I say whatever to that, I love my Christmas tree and I'm pretty darn sure Connor was on my side with that!!! LOL Secondly he said it had to come down early because as a child he remembers it staying up for God knows how long and his mom to lazy to take it down, so he didn't want the tree to end that way. Like I would let me tree stay up until like the 4th of July..... that is flipping INSANE!!!! I was honestly going to take in down on Jan 1st or 2nd, I swear!!!! LOL

My place setting.... thanks to ideas from a friend

You know I lied..... there is a second thing that made me happy about Christmas time, and was my husband and my Christmas dinner. Oh man, right after we opened the presents and all, I jumped into the kitchen and started cooking and getting my decor all set up. Curtis also started on his wonderful turkey. Setting the table took me a few trys until I got it just right. Next thing you know all the food was done and it was to be eaten. We had turkey, mac-n-cheese, corn, mashed potatoes,stuffing, pasta salad, deviled eggs, and the ol so yummy sweet potatoes. My husband, myself, and his mom minus Connor who was napping and Curtis' sister who thought she was sick had a wonderful meal.
