Saturday morning, we slept in... a little. We headed out the door around 10ish to Creston. Blair and Martina and their kiddos were on their way as well. We started our day out with lunch, then we made Cora lay down. I just can't think of a good reason to skip naps at this point. :) She slept about an hour and a half... then the kids were dying to open gifts from Papa and Grandma. I should have gotten a pic of all of them... holy moly. Spoiled rotten! The kids flew through the gifts, leaving wrapping paper, toys, clothes and memories all over the floor! They were spoiled with some amazing gifts, as always. We got the basement somewhat cleaned up... and the kids played. While they played, we decided (the adults) should just get their gifts out of the way. And again, spoiled. I don't even know a better or other word for it. Thank you Mike and JeanAnn.
More clean up... then we ordered pizza in, which was perfect. I think we were all already wiped out - busy with the kiddos, trying to keep things straight with all the gifts and just exhausted from the whole holiday season! It's tiring! :)
Bill and Joni came over after supper... always fun to have them visit. We just sat and talked for quite awhile, had a nice time. We even got the kids to bed at a fairly decent time. Martina and I decided that the 11:00 time at the big Taylor Christmas isn't an option anymore! After crying by (I think all of four kids), they were all asleep by 9. Not too bad. ha.
We had a good time. We headed home this afternoon... and then the unloading and attempting to organize started. We really don't even know where to start actually - we got so much/the kids got so much. I always think I'm organized, until we are done with Christmas - then I feel like we have nothing organized!! ha. It'll all get situated at some point... my goal is by this coming weekend.
Merry Christmas to all our friends and family.
