Holiday's...

Ah, yes.  The holiday's are approaching once again.  The holiday's that bring joy and laughter can also bring bitterness and sorrow for some. 

After being married for five years, you would think that Jeremy and I would have the holiday's down to a science...well we don't.  There is always question as to which family we will spend each day with.  As if the actual day of Thanksgiving or Christmas, are really any different then any other day!  Our families equally want to spend the special days together with us, even more now that little Camden has arrived.   So Jeremy and I are stuck making decisions that may or may not cause disappointment and hard feelings.  We have tried in the past to split each holiday as equally as we can, hoping that everyone would feel they spent sufficiant time with everyone around.  I know that we are not the only family that has to deal with this issue.  My brother and sister in law also try their best to split time between our family and her family.  Not wanting to cause any hard feelings for anyone.  What a hassle! 

I wrote this not to make anyone in my family upset, but to say that I really appreciate how accommodating everyone in my family is!  Each year there are new circumstances with Jeremy and I, mostly having to do with where we live, which make it hard to always have "smooth" holiday's.  So, THANK YOU to my family and to Jeremy's family for making the holiday's something that no matter the circumstance we find ourselves in, Jeremy and I can always look forward to spending whatever time we can with our family!!
