Christmas Eve...

Whew what a day.... I am wiped out... so is Sam... he is snoring as I type this! Today was his BIG 5-0 Birthday!  I kept teasing him all day

"Honey! Your a half a century old!" 

"Thanks... I'll be sure to remind you of that on your 50th!" 

then later I would say

"Honey! Your two score and ten years old today!" 

"Ya... Thanks"

 

I woke up this morning and went to the gym... it gives me more energy for the day believe it or not...

After the boys and I went to the gym, we went to go pick up Sam's birthday cake and then buy his presents [fooseball table and a new ping pong table]

Then we came home and literally threw everything away in my formal living room... the couch, the chairs, the carpet, the padding,  everything... it is now the official game room for Sam!  We will put some tile down in the next month or so, and put up a dart board, and flat screen t.v. 

After ripping up all the carpet,  the boys and their friends helped put together the ping ping table and foosball table... took about 4 hours and I am not even kidding... then they asked to open their "big present" for Christmas Eve... I said go ahead... we bought them the playstation 3 Band something or other... Instead of guitar hero... it has a whole band in it... drums, guitar, microphone and game to play with it in the PS3... 

We had about 14 people over here, and people were playing fooseball, ping pong or watching the Band in the other room... they are so into that game!

Then we all had Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, green beans and salad for dinner...  after that we had cake... and played Apples to Apples [I highly recommend this board game for EVERYONE.... it is so much fun, no matter what kind of crowd... so easy to learn too... it will get you roaring with laughter]

After Candice and Mike left, then Rachel [Kameron's ex who I LOVE], and Kieffer's friend Aggie wrapped the last of my presents for me... Woo Hoo...

Kristofer is here spending the night... he always does on Christmas Eve...

 

I better get to bed... I am tired... hope you enjoy the pictures...

 

Mele Kalikimaka Everyone... I hope it is a nice one for all of you.... and remember family is like peanut brittle - it takes a lot of sugar to hold all the nuts together!
