Christmas fun with the Hinckley's

Christmas has already come and gone...I can hardly believe it. We had a great time and hope that everyone reading this did as well. We spent Christmas up at Ira's parent's house this year. It was a FULL house. 8 of the 10 kids were came for Christmas and it is pretty evident that it was pretty tight quarters from one of the below pictures. We had quite an adventurous Christmas Eve. Taylor was just recovering from being sick, and so of course Emma caught it on Christmas Eve. She was coughing and running a fever all night and hardly slept at all. Taylor and Austin were sleeping in the basement and woke up terrified that there were ghosts or something like that. Basically the night consisted of absolutely NO sleep for Ira or me. Needless to say, Christmas morning was a little bit of a blur. The kids had a blast and could hardly get their presents open quickly enough. We did have to cut the trip a little short because after two nights with no sleep, we couldn't take it any more. We headed home a night early so that Emma could sleep in her own bed. It took a couple of days to recover from our "vacation", but it was fun and won't soon be forgotten!
