Christmas Day - A Day to Visit Both Girl's Homes!

Ken had a restless night and went to the LR very early, did a little reading, and then fell asleep on the sofa.  I got up at 6:15 and got ready for another busy day.  We both did our devotions and then I spent time packing some craft items for our return to Florida.  I decided I would like to make greeting cards while there and that requires taking soooooo much "stuff".  It took quite awhile to decide what I needed and what I could eliminate.

We left at 8:30 and went to Jamie's to see what Bria and Cali had gotten for Christmas.  Bria was very busy putting together an amusement park Lego set which had over 900 pieces.  She loves the challenge of doing them on her own!  Cali had gotten a jeep for her American Girl Doll that you can actual hook to bluetooth to listen to music and has workable windshield wipers, horn, lights, etc.  Sue, Dan and Brent stopped by too and we all had a nice time visiting before before Ken and I left around 10:15 to go to Lanie and Bob's.

We were excited to visit them and see what Samantha and Katelyn  had gotten for Christmas.  They are really into the L.O.L. dolls this Christmas and that is what they got plus a huge Barbie Dollhouse.   They were so happy with all of their gifts.  Lanie had made chili and tossed salad for lunch and then there was fresh fruit and some more of her delicious cookies for dessert!  We had a nice visit and by 2:00 we were back home!

Then it was time to finish packing and load the CRV for our trip back to Florida.  I can not believe how much we are taking back.  I thought most of our "stuff" was already there - wrong!!!!  Plenty of food to take with us, additional clothes, toiletries, electronics, and all those crafts.  Once loaded, it was time to clean out the refrigerator (we unplug it while we are gone!), spot clean, eat leftovers for dinner, and make sure the apartment is organized.  I did have time to work on our blog.

This is just some of the "stuff" that needed to be loaded - 


We watched some TV and went to bed around 8:00!
