'Twas the Day After Christmas

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Wow, was I able to catch up on my sleep today! I didn't get out of bed until 1:00 in the afternoon!

Part of me felt awful for wasting the day away, but I desperately needed the sleep. And when I woke up, I did do my part for the day... I went to the pharmacy for my parents and even brought home donuts for them!

I also helped put together one of the Christmas gifts we all got: a new game table. It's four games in one with a rotating table top. It's really cool, and most of it was put together before the kids got their presents (thanks to Santa and a certain number 1 elf) but we had some finishing touches to work on. We set it up in the lanai and I played pool with my brother and sister before dinner. It was so nice to spend time with them like that!

My dad had finished putting together my little sisters' new kitchen set and my parents rearranged the playroom to accommodate that and some other new things. The excitement of Christmas seemed to still be going strong today. Everyone was enjoying time together as a family, which I've really been missing with spending so much time at work.

The kids all seemed to have a great day and I ended the night by sitting down to watch a movie with my parents. My mom had taped "Into the Woods" for me, which I had been wanting to see since it came out. One of my best friends had been in the play when he was younger, and I remember liking the show, but I couldn't remember everything that had happened in it. I like a lot of the actors that were in this movie version though, so I wanted to see it. My dad got tired and went to bed, but my mom and I are finishing it and it's really good! A nice way to end the day.

Yesterday, I forgot to mention something, so I'd like to mention it now. I would love to hear about anyone who was able to enjoy my book, "A Christmas For Toys," with their little ones this Christmas. My siblings loved reading along as I read the story aloud last night, and I was glad that my mom got a picture of it. If you have pictures you'd like to share, feel free to post them on my Facebook page or share them on Twitter with the hashtag #AChristmasForToys!

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
