I have to laugh because after a long {OMG LONG} discussion over how to "do the holidays" as a married couple we decided on the every other holiday deal {you know, the one where one family gets Thanksgiving and the other gets Christmas and do not ask me about Easter} and I know we spent Thanksgiving in Colorado last year, but ummmmm.... yeah my post from last year is all about Thanksgiving in Idaho.
Regardless, we spent Thanksgiving in Clifton and will spend Christmas in Parker. The end.
Technically, we spent Thanksgiving at home. In our apartment. Just the two of us. Because I refused to celebrate Thanksgiving twice {is their a Grinch equivalent for Thanksgiving?} and then drove up on Friday for dinner on Saturday.
Now, lest someone think that I am badmouthing our family with my five billion people freak out. I am so not. I love them all. And it is wonderful to get to see them all. At the same time. {Plus, Landon and I actually got to sleep in the same room this year, so bonus} My only-child-raised-by-grandparents-brain just does not compute the levels of loud that 31 people in the same room can make. oh my lanta.
So, I have informed Landon that next year he is free to attend any Holiday Festivities he wants. He can have 4 Christmases if he wants. I will be at home. By myself. Or in need of some Prozac.
But the moral of the story is that despite my inability to formulate sentences when we got home and Landon's sleeping on the floor derived crankiness we had a fun, family filled Thanksgiving and are excited for Christmas.
{We did get to spend a lot of time gushing over baby Halle Kate}
{Then there is the fact that Jaxson's face sends me into "I need a baby!" mode. Too cute that one. It's those Choules genes. I swear. And he knows it too. Stinker.}
