Is it over yet? Christmas has come and gone and I gotta say Im not sorry to see it go. After having 4 Christmas events which include opening presents, food and family we are exhausted. When you have a blended family, live 2 states away from your parents, and have a 2 year old it can be a bit overwhelming. Every year I say this is the last year that we are traveling at Christmas, we are staying home, we arent going anywhere, no suitcases to pack and no schedules to try and figure out then Christmas comes around again and what do we do...we travel.

Our Christmas this year included opening presents with the kids at our house on the Saturday before Christmas, leaving Sunday for the inlaws, opening presents at their house on Christmas morning, returning Trinity (stepdaughter) to her mothers house Christmas evening so she can have Christmas with her, driving morning after Christmas to TN and having Christmas at 2 more locations in TN which include opening presents, eating, visiting with family...the whole nine yards. It makes me tired just thinking about it all over again.

We are back home, decorations are going back into their boxes, toys, toys and more toys are all over the house. It was nice seeing everyone but their is nothing like being back home even if we came back to 4 inches of snow after not even wearing a jacket in TN.
