Our holidays were pretty busy. Thanksgiving was especially traumatizing for me. We had to get the kids together to be at my mother’s house by noon. Getting everyone together and organized is a challenge in itself then expecting everyone else to get it together the same way I did is totally unrealistic. We got to my mom’s and helped her finish up setting the two tables. Note to self: Paper plates will now be a new tradition for next year since getting all the good china out and cleaned is annoying and tedious work that I would rather not do. We have our Thanksgiving meal and leave quickly for our drive to Julio’s parent’s house almost an hour away. We get there and have our second Thanksgiving meal. We then pack the kids up before they got too cranky from the busy day and head back home. Crazy exhausting day. The invention of a teleporting device would be nice right about now.
Christmas was exciting this year. Julian was all about not being on the naughty list and was pretty well-behaved in the days prior to Christmas (well...for the most part excluding small incidences-see picture->). He had a Christmas play at daycare and to our amazement, danced like a pro. The theme was Christmas in Latin America. Gabby's classroom dressed like little Tainos indians. My family usually celebrates on Christmas Eve so we gathered at my mother’s house and opened presents with the kids. The next day, we hosted Christmas for Julio’s family. Way easier than traveling that hour. Julian was extremely excited about his panda pillow pet and fireman costume and Gabby…well, she slept through most of it.
