The holidays are coming to and end, NYE is almost here...Saturday to be exact. With that being said, our regularly scheduled program will be in effect soon. Christmas. Well it was different, in a good but also in a bad way. First let us talk about the bad. Christmas Eve was spent at my house, also my mother's house. There was no Christmas spirit whatsoever, my little brother called it "Ghetto Christmas" I tried to liven the mood by playing Christmas music but was quickly shut down by my mother's really loud "banda" music playing in the kitchen. I suggested baking some Christmas cookies but my mother was already making desserts that aren't exactly Christmas anything. My mom ended up going to bed at 6pm so it was just Marc, my little brother, the Cupcake and myself just hanging out watching Hall Pass. Not the best way to spend Christmas Eve. Christmas morning, we got up around 730am and headed to the living room to open presents, that was also a bust. No excitement whatsoever, my mother even said it was silly of me to have the Cupcake try and tear off the wrapping paper off of her presents. Luckily, opening gifts was fast and well after that Christmas was over. So like I said, Christmas sucked at home.
Now on to the Good. Christmas day the Cupcake and I got ready real quick and took off to Faby's house to give Cupcakes play date Isra his gift. We were there for about 20 mins and we went off to Marc's house where his immediate family was waiting. Once we arrived the liveliness there was amazing. Once we walked in there were presents everywhere, the smell of baked goods lingered in the air, Christmas music was playing and everyone was so happy to be just hanging out with each other. This is what Christmas is suppose to be like. This is what I want my daughter to be raised in, good family fun. It is sad to say but I prefer this much better than being at my house. Anyway, we all got to open presents, watch the kids play, have some good eats, and just lounge around all day. I felt all warm and fuzzy just being around such a warming family. I have never spent holidays with Marc because my mom always gave me the guilt trip of me never wanting to spend holidays with them....Newsflash! I am always home for holidays, it is them that leave me alone to spend it all by myself.
The weekend was just perfect at the end. Cupcake got tons of toys and clothes and she seemed really happy. I am going to try and make things a little different next year at my moms house. I don't know how I am going to achieve the unachievable, but that's my goal and I have a whole year to do it. I am so excited for what the new year will bring us, looking forward to more wonderful memories.
This is the cupcake with one of her gifts, she loves this thing.
Sorry for the ugly cellphone picture...I have been way too lazy to take out my camera but I am going to try and do a 365 photo project, TRY being the keyword.
