Today was our final day of Christmas celebrations! It’s hard to believe another Christmas season is over!
The girls slept in a little bit, so that was a nice treat. By the time we were up and finished with breakfast, it was time to get ready to go again. Today we were off to my dad’s house to celebrate with sisters and all the kids. Now this is pretty much the definition of a mad house! It my dad and stepmom, me and Christian, my 3 sisters and their significant others, our 2 girls and my 11 nieces and nephews (the kids range from 5 months to 21 years old) PLUS, two of my nieces have one kid each…so there are 15 kids total running around! It’s chaos, and exhausting, but it’s always so fun. I think Olivia was in complete heaven having so many kids to run around with…plus, they’re all crazy, like her, so even better! Amelia again slept through most of the day. But, we did manage to get in some family pictures this time, and she was actually awake for them!
We skipped out after the picture taking, and settled in at home for the night. Olivia took a little cat nap, then was back to getting so good use out of all the new toys. Christian and I were pretty much dead men walking at this point, so she just went crazy. We just look around at all of this stuff, and think about her party next week and how much MORE stuff she’s going to get, and think…where in the WORLD are we going to put all of it?!? We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives to spoil the girls like they do!
Now, it’ll be a week of PURE CHAOS trying to get the house in order for the party, get all of the final decorations and food, get the house cleaned and get all set up. Then, hopefully we can finally get a little break and some much needed rest!
We took some family photo's at my Dad's house today. What a family we are!
