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!
