Saturday morning we had a few random things to do... then Blair and Martina headed over. Them, along with Mike and JeanAnn hung out with us over lunch... Cora took a short nap, then we all headed to the hotel. It's the Taylor way we do things now... we get a hotel space reserved for all the Taylor's - and we gather! We had such a good time!
We gathered and just hung out... kids started playing... we eventually ate supper, then we did some fun games, Santa even visited!!!, we opened a few gifts (kiddos), followed by a few kiddos swimming... We tried to get Cora to bed at a decent time (started around 9ish), and it took her over an hour to fall asleep. I felt so bad, I hate that. We let K stay up, cuz he was doing well (no meltdowns). With that being said, it was still super late for him... Once the kiddos were in bed, the adults finally hung out - most of them playing the famous Taylor card game of Pitch. I didn't play this year... but I believe Ryan did well (or at least has fun!), cuz he was doing a lot of hooting and hollering! :)
I think we finally got everything cleaned up and we were in bed around 12:30. YAWN. Kayson slept great - Cora didn't. This is not abnormal - she just doesn't do well not in her own bed. We've always said that. Anyway - she was pretty much awake at 5:15. She kept quiet and I think she did snooze a little (restlessly) until about 7. Again - YAWN. Once we were all up - Ryan and the kids (and other cousins and Mike) did some swimming. Cora had missed out on swimming the night before, so she got in this morning. She does great - thank god for those arm floaties! Anyway, we hung out a little longer - chatting with everyone, then finally headed home this morning around 11. Blair's came back to our house so Landry could stretch out and crawl on clean carpet. :) Tate and K played a little more... then they took off. Cora took a great nap - I got groceries (which I believe I did that half-asleep) - man, I was tired. I did lay down for a bit, which was great - but not long enough. Oh well!
All and all, we had a great weekend. As I re-read this, I babbled... you get the point on what we did - it was A LOT, we were non-stop! :) the kids had fun and so did we. Tons of pictures below:
