It's the day after Christmas and I put all the gifts are put away.

On Christmas day my wife and I go to her parents for gifting. And since she is a only child she gets lots of presents and since they want to be fair to me I get equal amount. So this leads to us having two to three boxes of presents each to take home. And now that we have a son that they just spoil it's worst(better?). Yesterday I had to make two trips in the car to bring everything home. In years past I would just sit the boxes around the house and tell myself that I would put them away later when I'm not tired. And of course I never would. Leading to finding a heavy coat in the middle of summer. But this morning I woke up and told myself I wouldn't do it this year. And I put everything in it's spot. Then my son woke up and dragged all the new toys out. But small victories right?

You're inspiring me... I stacked all the gifts we received in a spare bedroom.

I will go organize and put away. šŸ…šŸŽ„
