We had so much fun with Nana and Poppa yesterday that I was too tired to write last night! We played Dance Dance Revolution, which was pretty funny. Poppa was the best; he can really boogie. We played outside some, and Poppa went for a ride on the pink bike that we are saving for when Jamie outgrows her Barbie bike. Jamie didn't like that too much, but the rest of us did! We also played a very long game of Monopoly that we never finished. We played on Carson's new game with electronic banking. It is hard to get used to the card system, but it definitely beats having to clean up and organize all the paper money.

Last night we made a family trip to Target and Home Depot. Caleb, Poppa and Vic went to Home Depot, and the rest of us went to Target to look for post-Christmas bargains. Nana also gave the kids some money to spend. Jamie got a wedding day Cinderella, Carson got a Star Wars monopoly game (he is really into Monopoly right now), and Nana chose a Thomas train set for Caleb. They were all very happy. After that, we ate at Barbara Jean's, which was very yummy.

This morning Jamie and Nana did makeovers for each other with Jamie's new makeup she got for Christmas. They were both very beautiful! Just before lunchtime, Nana and Poppa packed up and headed home. They left the kids with the customary bag of mints, which they enjoyed as always.

We spent the rest of the day trying to restore order to the house after all the Christmas celebrating. It is hard to find places for all the new toys. I had even cleaned out a bunch of toys recently, and it is still hard to get everything straightened up. It is looking better, though. And, Nana did almost all my laundry! We call her the laundry fairy. She is the best! Having the laundry caught up makes it easier to clean everything else up.

Tonight we had our usual pizza night, and now all the kids are sleeping. I am going to go watch some TV.

We really enjoyed having Nana and Poppa here! I will get more pictures up soon!
