We will...We hope y'all have a GREAT Christmas! We will miss seeing you but totally understand not dealing with the "rat race" and our own version of the "holiday nazi";) Its just not humanly possible to "do it all". We have learned that as well and its been the best thing we've ever done. We have a pact to always wake up in our own house on Christmas morning and enjoy our day at home. Grandparents can come and see us if they would like. We see Matt's parents on Christmas Eve morning and then are on our own for the rest of the day. We are making our own traditions and it give us a good sense of independance. Not that we don't want to be with family but we have learned that its absolutely impossible to coordinate with everyone and come up with something that's convienent at the same time. So, we see my family the week before Christmas and that works well too. Of course, its sad for me that I can't be in my mom's house on Christmas Day, but, to me, its more important for my child to have a sense that OUR HOME is a special place to be too! So, as the years go on, I'm sure we will be doing more of the scehduling before the actual 2 days of the Christmas holidays, and, I think that works well for us, because, we just want to be in our own home:) Love to y'all! xoxoErin Caden Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971724397741843820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288880123522914343.post-25763112131721888792010-12-18T08:55:12.945-06:002010-12-18T08:55:12.945-06:00I was nervous about our fried turkey (for thanksgi...I was nervous about our fried turkey (for thanksgiving) too - but it ROCKED!
