I need a vacation after my vacation!

November24

This year for Thanks­giv­ing, we went to my in-laws’ house. It was a lot of fun, and I love spend­ing time there. On Thurs­day, it was our fam­ily (4), Jason’s par­ents (2), his older sis­ter and her fam­ily (3), and his brother and his fam­ily (5). So, in one house we had 8 adults and 6 kids and a new puppy. It was def­i­nitely a loud, ener­getic day. We stayed overnight and yes­ter­day Jason’s younger sis­ter and her fam­ily (5) came over, so there was 10 adults and 9 kids and a new puppy in the house.

When we’re there, there is so much going on and K doesn’t take good naps. He plays well while we’re there, but as we were leav­ing I noticed that he had cir­cles under his eyes. We got home tonight and he was pretty tired. We put him to bed at 7, and we haven’t heard from him since. Now, I’ll say again that I had a very good time and I love see­ing Jason’s fam­ily, but I’m not sure exactly what I did that made me so tired, but I fell asleep in the car on the way home and did the head bob for at least 25 miles.

*yawn* Both boys are in bed, and I’m think­ing it might be time to join them.

    I found your site thru nablopomo and I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoy­ing get­ting to know you thru your blog. Sounds like you had a great hol­i­day. I’m thank­ful that my in-laws only live a few miles away, so no head bobs for me. Although I do wish my fam­ily were closer. Any­way, hope you get caught up on your rest!
