twas the night before

Jordy's parents always have his family over to celebrate on Christmas Eve.  We had really debated going home.  When you have a little kid, you really want to wake up in your own house on Christmas morning and let your child run around and play with their toys and have breakfast.  Traveling is not my idea of a good time.  We decided to suck it up this year, because we knew the party wasn't coming to us and made the drive home.

 

We arrived around 6:00 and Kaylea made a new friend.  She met her second cousin, Caleb.  She was excited to meet him and really liked playing with him.  Caleb had his first tea party.  Kaylea liked it because he did whatever she told him to.

 

We got a hotel room at the Hampton Inn that night because we thought it would be last hectic.  We were so wrong!  Kaylea was not having it.  She is such a homebody.  She did not want to stay at the hotel.  She cried and cried.  We let her watch TV and turned on lights, and finally at 1am, she went to sleep.  We had to wake her up at 7:45.  Considering she didn't have much sleep, she had a great day.
