Well, I thought I would be creative tonight so I decided to invite my sister, her kids, and then our friends the Stuarts and their kids all over to our house tonight to decorate Christmas ornaments. Yumm.. yeah.
So Julie Stuart and I went to Hobby Lobby this morning to get all the stuff and we kind of went wild- and didn't really get all that we should have. And then they all came over around 5:30, Aaron (Julie's husband) cooked chicken fajitas (remember, Matt is still out of town!), we ate, and then we (the women) helped the kids decorate the ornaments.
Now, think of this. It's me, my sister Becca, and Julie. And we have....
Clay- Julie's oldest who is 9
Daylon- who is 8
Tyler- who is Julie's 2nd son who is 7
Jace- who is 6
Caden- my nephew who is 6
Kelton- who is 5
Aubry- who is 4 (I think??) and Julie's daughter. The ONLY girl!!
Kyle- my other nephew who is 3
and Blayden- who is almost 23 months
So we had 9 kids, 9 years old and younger. And all but one of those were boys. My kitchen table was a disaster!! (It really wasn't too bad and didn't take too long to clean up.)
Oh... and just in case you ever need to know..... rubbing alcohol takes permenant marker out of wood tables REALLY easily. You can't even tell that Blayden decorated our fairly new kitchen table with a black permanant marker anymore!!! :-)
I'm exhausted and am going to bed.
(Oh, and just in case you are wondering- I know you are.... here's exactly what Matt's been doing... Yes. It's gross. I know.)
