Amen. I always sympathized with Marilyn Munster, she was the only normal person in a nutty family, and they made her feel like she was the nutty one!
Wow. Merry freakin' CHristmas to you too!
Is the sister coming just to visit, or is she having problems? I swear I remember a much older cousin coming to stay with us awhile when I was 4 or 5yo (she was a teenager at the time), but my parents don't remember it! How can they not remember it?! They say she never stayed with us, but I remember sitting on the front steps of our house and talking with her. I was so enthralled with her because she was so much older.

Right!! Isnt it always the holidays that brings it out, too?? BOY was I glad I didnt have to get my butt off the couch today.
We invited her for dinner, but she said no. Fine by me!! I didnt even have to clean the house!
It was just the four of us, and I couldnt have asked for a better day.
It was great!
That's awesome.This year... was LOVELY. Yesterday we baked cookies, and decorated them for Santa... Alex helped wrap some presents... We played games... Just had a REALLY laid back day. Today we got to just watch the kids play, and enjoy their gifts. Im telling ya. This is it for us. No stress, no drama. We had HAM SANDWICHES for dinner!
That's awesome.
I regret that I haven't done much of the relax-and-enjoy this year, it just seemed to fly by. I had the best intentions for holiday crafts with the kids, including baking cookies. It just didn't happen.
Next week DH will be back to work, likely FT, and the snow sounds like it will be gone, so maybe we'll do some things then. Obviously not Christmas things... I had this cool activity all lined up to make paper Christmas ornaments, too.
But we can still bake and decorate cookies.
And I probably have some other craft project we can do, I just need to think a bit.
This weather REALLY threw a wrench into stuff though.
It sure did! THough to be honest, I really did enjoy all the sledding and picture-taking. I guess if I'd really wanted to, we could have skipped all the sledding and done the baking or crafts. That was my relaxing time with the kids this year. They were having a blast, and begging every day to go. Normally I'd send DH out with the kids for something like that while I made dinner or something. So I'm glad I got the chance to do that, it was so much fun to watch them having a great time.
But I LOVED the few times i could go. They were so CUTE!!
I know. I could tell DH was seriously bummed when he couldn't go. But when we switched locations, to sledding down a steep side street, he swung by to pick us up after an hour or so, and wound up staying to watch the kids. He had the perfect vantage point at the top of the street!I know it! I had to send Frelan out with the kids by himself a few times.. Because to be perfectly honest... Me... in the snow??? PREGNANT??? not so safe.
OMG, that is just the cutest!!!
It has been years since we have all been able to be together. There will be about 50 of us. 
I KNOW!!!OMG, that is just the cutest!!!
