Is everyone sad that Christmas is over? I am but we had a great time on Christmas Eve sharing food and fun with some close friends and their children. We then headed to church and later during bedtime and until 11pm we ended up with kids not being able to sleep and crying. We just wanted them to go to bed so we could finish up our gifts for them. The kids had a great time opening gifts on Christmas morning and I’ll be back later this week to share our DIY Entertainment Center turned Play Kitchen. I did post a pic on The Blooming Hydrangea FB page so you can always head over there to see it.
Last night I was thinking back to what I was doing last January and what my goals were for the coming year in our home. I thought it would be fun to do a blog post on the past year to see what I accomplished and all that happened this past year. I’d love to see what you’ve done this past year too so I am hosting a link party starting on Thursday!
Now we are off to enjoy some more family time, I made everyone clean the house this morning because I can only handle so much Christmas mess strewn around the house like this:
Do you leave the presents out under the tree after they are opened or do you prefer them put away?
looks like you guys had a great time!
and the presents are all put away!
i spent today putting away decorations… for some reason as soon as the holiday is over i want it al gone and i have asudden sense to purge- seriously i go through this every year! i left out the winter decor, but all christmas is down except for the tree and outdoors.
My house looks exactly the same way right now!
The play kitchen turned out amazing! What a great idea to have a year in review link up. I woke up with the idea of having a link up showing off Christmas photos…particularly the reactions to gifts given. For example, I would love to see a photo of the reaction of your children when you unveiled the gorgeous play kitchen y'all made! Hint, hint
Not sure what post I would link up to your year in review. I'll have to think on that one. Hope you can purchase the camera…good luck on getting a good deal. {I'll say a prayer for ya.}
