Three Kings Day

Karla loved Three Kings Day. She loved her Fisher Price Noah's Ark and the animals that came with it. At almost 20 mos, Karla did not appreciate the shoe organizer received. I sure loved it! We now have more shoe pairs together.

Now that Christmas is officially over, I'll begin to take down the decorations and the tree (it's artificial). Hope to have everything stored by the 16th.

Karla went to sleep really late. DH and I had to drive her around the San Juan metroplex until she fell asleep. Guess Karla was too excited, as everyone had been telling her about the Magi.

The Magi arrived. The gifts are under the Christmas tree. We'll have to take video and lots of pics.

Three Kings Eve

Topic: Traditions
Today is January 5, aka Three King's Eve or the Eve of the Magi. In Puerto Rico, where we live (and are from) the Three Kings that visited baby Jesus visit the children and bring presents. Yes, we also get Santa Claus to visit us on Christmas Eve.

What can I say?, in Puerto Rico we have the longest Christmas season from mid November until mid January.

Tonight Karla and I went to pick some grass and hay to feed the camels. We packed in a little box along with three cans of diet coke, one for each king. LOL

Karla is now watching Barney videos dressed up in her PJs. DH is at our neighbor's house.

When I was a kid, people used to throw parties to celebrate the Three Kings and would party until the dawn of January 6. That tradition seems to be lost.

Karla is sleepy. Time to put her to bed

Today Karla went to play at my SIL's house. SIL is wonderful, she invited Karla to play all day long at her house (free babysitting). It's great since I seem to have a strong cold and have no voice (nor energy). Being on vacation, I was able to do nothing all day long, just rest and set up this blog.

Tomorow I'll go to the doctor since this cold isn't going away (I don't want it to turn into bronchitis or pneumonia). DH will take Karla with him. DH is such a darling caring man. This makes me want to kiss him passionately, which I unfortunately can't do with all my coughing. LOL

I do want to get well ASAP so I can continue to enjoy my vacation. It'll be gone too soon (next week). Besides, I want to return to the gym and continue loosing weight.

Karla is asleep. Must fall asleep soon, before she wakes up for her middle of the night nurse. zzzz!

Welcome
