Drumroll Please (drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) J Estrada, A Estrada and A Estrada Jr.! Oh yea peeps 3 cousins by which they all are born on the exact same day one year apart received an award today. Conspiracy you say? Hmmmmm
Isnt he handsome :gush:
As we (Estrada Clan) entered the auditorium we turned to each other asking “wait is “J” getting an award? “A” to? And “A Jr.”? Hmmmmmm”. Well it is Christmas time – OF COURSE our boys did a 180, they needed to insure every item they listed on their Christmas List will be waiting for them underneath the tree. We all sat there (taking an entire row) and watched proudly and screamed their names as each were called. People looked back at us (we always wear dark clothing and we all have dark hair) probably wondering who brought the lil mafia familia. I laugh typing that but thats exactly how we looked. My husband comes from a very big family so when we roll we roll deep.
Last night was a hectic one – today being the last day of school for two weeks, :sniff tear: sorry I still get very emotional when I think of their “break” from school. Lord help me. Sorry back to my point, our 14 yr old had a fiesta in his Spanish class and it was Potluck style so we opted for the easiest thing – sweet bread aka pan de dulce. Also, this year I wanted to send a treat to my kids teachers. The older ones got to pick one teacher each (highschool) and my youngest has two teachers so he automatically gets a gift for both. I must say I do like my handy dandy gift choices – coffee thingies that keep the coffee hot with their favorite teams on them – 2 Chargers, 1 Steelers and a Purple one (no team).
And after a night filled with wrapping, cooking, cleaning, crying, drinking, laughing, massaging, laundry, baking, folding, mediating and finally kissing the kids good night it was time for me to admire my only card on my tree.
Its the simple things that make my day/night. Have a wonderful weekend!
