Because we have a blended family, with a blended topping... (mmm I'm thinking about starbucks now...)
Holidays are INSANE
Last year I was at my parent's house with the baby for Thanksgiving, while my husband was with his mother (he works retail) we were 4 hours away from eachother!
This year for Thanksgiving, I relented and we had an awkward dinner at Ben and Karen's with her brother Stoney (not his real name, he just always looks/acts stoned) and Zoey, after we left Lucas' brother Brad and Amy came over for dinner (they work strange schedules)
Then that Saturday we drove 3 hours away to have another Thanksgiving with Laura and her mother Karen (yes... the ex-Mil and the new wife have the same name) this one wasnt as awkward.
OH I have to mention this.... Lucas' grandma, Karen, has been married SIX times and has children with at least 2 of them, I think she out lived them all. It must run in the family.... the Elizabeth Taylor syndrome
So Christmas this year, I have relented again, Laura's new house for Christmas Eve (with Tabby and Zoey), Ben and Karen's for Christmas Day (But Lucas and Zoey are going to Tabby's house for a few hours in the morning), and my mom and sis and niece are coming for a big Snow festival thing on the 28th. (We went down a couple weekends ago and had an early Christmas with my parents)
My mother has claimed Christmas for next year lol
Its not how I want it, but Lucas swears next year we will be in another state enjoying Christmas, so I guess I should be happy we are seeing everyone now.
My mom got Ally one of those talking Christmas books, I think its really special, I wish I had one for my grandma, Ann, who passed away 5 years ago
But this has turned into ramblings, so I'm going to end it now before my head explodes (its hard to keep everything straight sometimes)
3rd times the charm,
