Christmas

Well here it comes, the holiday we all look forward to coming... and going... I am excited for Christmas but not the headache that comes with it! I am done shopping, almost done wrapping, not doing any baking, and found our family to help this year already got it delivered. I am not really sure were the dread is coming from? I was super excited but with the split down the middle of my family tree I am in total disarray. I know it will all work out, I know I should have faith, love and all of those things but have you ever met my family? Why o why cant we all just get along?

Thanksgiving!

Well we made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas is approaching very quickly. We were super busy during our Thanksgiving break, we got our family pictures taken, made gingerbread houses, went mini golfing, bowling, to the Sand Dunes, Pirate Island Pizza, movies, shopping and spent some time with family.
Loved having the kids home for a few days and loved being able to hang out!
We stayed home for Thanksgiving for the first time ever and sadly I am thinking it might be the way it is from now on. Both sides of my Family had some drama and I am so glad I was not there to watch either side fall apart even more. I am so sad this holiday season, watching the people I love grow further apart from each other and slipping out of my reach at the same time. I love my family all of it, even the parts that are not related by blood, but the hurt of knowing that I cannot hang on any more has me almost willing to give it all up!
