It’s not even 11:00 and I am wiped out beyond belief! But in a really good way 🙂 Brady and I slept in this morning and only around 10:00 did we start packing. Our kids stayed sleeping pretty well the entire time we packed! Dekker woke up an ate breakfast while Brady loaded the car up, and Laela only really woke when we changed her diaper and got her dressed. And they both slept on the drive to my parents. Best kids ever.
We’ve spent the day with my parents and my sister and brother in law. Tomorrow the rest of my siblings arrive, with my nephews. Once were all together, the fun will really begin 🙂 but we spent today visiting, eating, and watching Elf. It was wonderful.
Dekker was playing so well in the evening and I knew he would be pretty choked at bedtime. I tried to be gradual about it, and jus slowly undress him while he played. He’s often half dressed at home so it’s not unheard of, and I figured he wouldn’t find it weird. But he cried, and then inquired “Bum?” and headed towards his room. So I went with him and changed his bum. We put his jammies on and he had a bit of a cry, but he was ready. I love seeing him make those hard decisions all by himself. Such a big boy!
Ok, in old and tired. Luckily, so is everyone in this house! Officially time for bed. Or Netflix. Either way, the merriest Christmas Eve to all of you and yours! More tomorrow 🙂
