Taylor Chistmas 2013 - Round 2

Ryan and I took Thursday off from work... just to be home.  It was a nice day at home... we got out to the mall just to get 'out' and just hung out the rest of the day.  Friday we worked - which was kind of nice.  I was ready to get out and to a routine for the kids.  Even if it was only for a day!  

Saturday morning we headed to Creston for the immediate Taylor Christmas.  Blair, Martina and Tate were there... so the kids were excited to see each other, and instantly started to play.  We had a nice lunch and got to see Grandma Janis too, so that was great.  I'm glad she is getting out and keeping herself busy... and I think she enjoys seeing the kiddos be so busy.  ha. 

We made the kids take a nap - they struggled, but they did rest for a bit.  Following that - it was time for the kiddos to open their gifts from Grandma and Papa.  As always, they were spoiled and got some great things...  tons to play with and some nice clothes too.  Very blessed.  We then just let the kids play.  Tate got a big kitchen set, so him and Kayson played with that quite a bit.  They played with Hot Wheels a lot and played some hoops too.  Cora was just all over... playing with whatever she can get her hands on.  She found the motorized Lightning, tried that out.  She got a little dollhouse, so she played with that... and got a nice chair just for her.  (She's used it quite a bit here at home).  Tate and K played hard... then of course, we made them stop for supper.  ha.  

More played... then more struggling for bed.  :(  They just get so excited!!!  Finally they were asleep by 10ish... and the grown ups opened their gifts.  And again, us adults were spoiled... some great gifts.  Us and Blair and Martina are going to the Blue Man Group in February, so that'll be fun!  I got new bedding set...  needed to spruce up our bedroom!  Plus some other great things.  Martina and I bought each other the exact same thing (hot pink top)... which was hilarious, plus JeanAnn got us somewhat matching Nike tops!  :)  We had a really nice time hanging out with B & M and Mike and JeanAnn.  It was fun... and relaxing too!  

Papa and kiddos! (Best pic I could get!)

Yep - this is what it's like with Tate & Kayson!

Broncos gear!

The Christmas' are over!  It's always so busy and so exhausting, but we had fun and were very blessed (as always).  It's crazy to think we are moving into a new year already...  time just goes so fast!!
