Hail! Hail! The gangs all here!

It has been six years since my whole family has been
home for the holidays!  For this household, 'holidays' means Christmas, New Years and three Birthday celebrations!   With an active duty Marine in the family we take what time we can get and enjoy the heck out of it! 

Oh the excitement! (or is that stress I am feeling?)
But I am an organizer so I have a plan.  Several actually!

• I will not over plan events.  More may actually turn into less if everyone gets cranky so I will be content with anything we do together.
  
  
• When entertaining, I will accept help from anyone who offers and not feel like I need to do it all myself! 

​

• I will not fuss over the tree that my daughter will pick.  Although I may still have to rearrange the ornaments when she leaves the room.  It is actually very therapeutic for me!

 

• I will take a million pictures so I can remember every moment.  In January I will delete all the bad ones and organize the rest.

 

• My Christmas cards may actually end up being New Years cards and that’s OK!

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. 
​Plan what you can so you can plan to have fun.  
But most important, enjoy the time you have with the people you love!
