Thanksgiving was interesting as always. This year since we have Gage, Terri set the boundary early that we would do one day with each family, so they should sign up now to choose which day. So, I went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving and tomorrow is reserved for my family. I find that there are drawbacks to the new system. If we aren't happy with the situation, we can't "claim" to have somewhere else to go. Oh well, I'll just have to be creative in getting out of these situations. We thought we might be able to use, "Well...we have to get home to put Gage to bed." Then, he went and took a two-hour nap. Thanks, kid. Although, given the choice of socializing with my in-laws or sleeping, I think he made the right choice. So, after the turkey coma begins to wear off, I'll be getting up tomorrow and doing it all over again. So far, this is the first "real" holiday since Gage was born (real holidays being those that are attached with familial obligations, ie, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). It hasn't been too bad. Christmas will be the real test I think. We're doing her family on Christmas Eve and mine on Christmas Day. I think her family will be the ones with the problems, but we'll see.
Anyway, that's about all for today. There are rumors that we're getting out soon and I don't want to jinx that.
