Aded bonus fun? I'm out of vacation time and 3 of the 4 cars are completely hosed.
Pretty much all of the above. On the 23 we are having Rob's parents, brother, sister and her family over for that Christmas celebration. We will open presents and have a good meal of lasagna.:) Christmas Eve we go to Rob's Maternal Grandparent's house(local) for dinner and the kids and grandparent's get their gifts. Christmas morning we will have our gift opening with Rob, Mattias and I. Then we go to Rob's paternal grandmother's house(local) for more gifts, and breakfast. Then I come home finish packing Mattias and I up to go to my families Christmas. Which involves 2 to 2 1/2 hours of driving to get down there. So Mattias and I won't come home until Tuesday. Rob can't come since he is on call. So his parents, brother and sister are going to stay over at our place Christmas night. Rob's parents like to have an evening were it is just them and their 3 kids. It is just going to work out that our house is the best place to do that this year. Rob's Brother is probably also going to be staying with us while he is in town for Christmas. So I have to make sure all the guest linens are clean before Christmas weekend. I also need to change Mattias bed before we leave so One of Rob's siblings can sleep in it. So Christmas per usual is going to be crazy with activity for several days and it will probably take a week or two after Christmas to get caught back up on laundry.
Plus some time between now and the 23rd I need to get two fleece blankets made for Rob's parents. Never a dual moment around here. I will also be baking a ton of cookies. That seems to be the role I have fallen into with both sides of the family. This year is made harder by the fact I have to make gluten and egg free cookies.
