Christmas Round 2

So I guess the good thing about the way we do things at Christmas is the fun continues through the 26th for us so its not so much of a let down the night of Christmas when everything is over. So we packed up this morning and headed to Mississippi to spend the day with Austin's family. Our goal was to leave at 8:00 but yea right that wasn't happening. I woke up at 7 and then woke Colby around 7:45 but by the time I got him fed, dressed, and loaded up the car with all the presents it was well past 8:30. So we pulled out about 8:40 I think. Colby did really well in the car. He slept for about half the ride the other half he was content just looking out the windows. I am so thankful that he is a good travler especially after reading other friend's blogs and status on facebook where their children screamed the whole time.

We got to his parent's house around 10:30 I think. His sister and her family were already there. I think Shelbi and Maggie were really excited to see Colby. He doesn't really pay them much attention. He took to Shelbi a little more just b/c he she is the oldest I guess and seems more motherly. Maggie really wanted Colby to play with him but he really is too young to understand that concept yet. We brought Colby's police car toy and him and Maggie took turns playing on that. Around 11:30 Colby got antsy and was ready to eat but lunch was still about another hour away so I went ahead and fed him. Then the girls were anxious to do presents. So we opened presents before we ate. This is out of the norm but I guess when you have little kids you just have to go with the flow. Once again Colby was not so interested in opening presents. He just wanted to walk around. But he was getting tired and cranky by this point. He did well but it was hard to focus on the presents with him getting antsy. We all got some nice things again. Colby got plenty more toys! I think we could open up a toy shop! The girls racked up too...they both got lots of clothes, barbies, books, and games! Colby got some stuffed animals, books, a few toys, and a step ladder thing. After presents were over I took Colby outside he was ready to do something different. He loved it out there he had a blast. Then we ate lunch. And Colby ate again haha! After lunch again he was getting kinda antsy so we went out with Colby, Shelbi, and Maggie. They all had fun running around outside. After visiting for awhile and dessert we decided it was time to head back home. By this point Colby was just exausted and we wanted to get home before dark. And we had plenty to do once we got home! It was a fun day but the holidays are definitely tiring especially with a kid! It was all fun though! We have to go to bed early again tonight though b/c tomorrow we have church! I swear it never ends haha! But its all fun!
