Taylor's 10th Birthday

WHOO HOO! CASH!!!
Gifts from the Woodards
All of us at Yamatos
"Flaming volcano"

It is so old hard to believe that my BABY....yes, baby, turned double digits yesterday!!!! Taylor is now a ten year ! Reggie and I decorated the kitchen, living room the night before , so she would wake up with all her birthday stuff! I even snuck in her room and decorated while she was sleeping, thank goodness she is a hard sleeper. Taylor had a great birthday,we don't have her party until after her actual birthday since a lot of friends are out of town. but we always go out for birthday diners and this year she chose Yamatos! We all had a great time. Danielle and the girls also baked Taylor a strawberry cake, with Strawberry icing and pink sprinkles! it was too cute and yummy! Taylor, has filled our hearts with so much faith and love, she is so special to all of us and we are so proud of the little girl she has grown to be. What a blessing it is to call her own daughter. We love you so much Taylor!

Well, this Christmas morning was no different than last year, the kids got up at 2:30 A. M! Yep, you read correctly, 2:30 A.M.! The same as last year! whew! I tell ya, I could barley focus at that time of morning! lol
But they got some great gifts! Austin got his quarter pipe, which he has been wanting SO badly! Ill take some pics of him on it tomorrow. Santa brought it for him and Taylor got her gifts she wanted and a special note , from Santa himself , was written on her Board! She was so tickled! Thanks Santa ;)
And can I just say that by noon today,All of our Christmas decorations were put up! Reggie and I just took everything and in a couple of hours the house was back to normal! It is such a good feeling! I love Christmas time but I'm over the decorations as soon as the last gift is opened! lol Plus Taylor's birthday is the 30th of this month and I don't want here to feel anything Christmas associated at that time, its her special day!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and had a wonderful time together with those you love and those of you not able to be together that you were with each other in spirit :O) Love to all!
