Holidays went well but I'm exhausted! Went to NJ to see my family this weekend. Drove down Friday night and it was great, both kids slept the whole way. But DS1 went to bed super late the three nights we were there and DS2 basically slept on me most of the time those nights since we didn't have the swing. Last night since DH was sleeping in the blowup bed with the toddler I was actually able to lay DS2 next to me in bed for awhile as long as my hand was still on him.
Goal for the new year, break him of the swing or need to sleep on someone.
Wow that ended up being more of a vent than I meant it to be. We really did have a great Christmas weekend with family and besides sleep both boys were great and well behaved.

We had a great holiday! I worked Christmas Eve, but got out at 5. We had DH's sisters family over for a quick dinner and a few cute pictures of the 5 cousins. Christmas Day we didn't leave the house or put on real clothes. Family came over to visit. The house was TRASHED and I have a hard time relaxing when it's like that, but we're getting back to normal now, so I'm better. NYE will probably be spent with the inlaws. Not ideal, but I'm happy to be with family.

I just posted in the randoms thread before I saw this... Christmas was good, lots of presents and wine
We have friends coming today to spend a couple days with us, so that's fun. I also go back to work today (boohoo), so I'll be ready for peace and quiet by the end of the week for sure. We don't do anything much for NYE, I like to be home on my couch rather than out with crowds and spending $$$. Party animal over here, haha.

Christmas was good. Really busy, but good. Really didn't nap enough so he got fussy by the end of both days, but we managed. Yesterday was the rough day since I think it just all caught up to him.
NYE we're going to a party at a neighbor's house that we're good friends with. She was the first person to find out I was pregnant since we found out before her party last year. It's also right down the street so we can easily come home if R won't fall asleep there.
Good but busy Christmas here. Made the rounds Christmas Day to my inlaws for a late breakfast then to my parents for the afternoon and dinner. Yesterday drove to DHs aunts for his family get together. DS went to bed late 3 nights in a row. Today we're just tidying and doing laundry. We may go look at a double stroller.
I will never look at the holiday season the same again. But I am grateful for family, good friends, and love. Only good thing from all of this mess is it's helping me appreciate the beauty in every day.

Well change of plans. Our neighbor is sick so her party was cancelled. We're just going to relax at home, have breakfast for dinner, and watch Secret Life of Pets. Party would have been fun but I'm not at all bummed we're staying home now.

fem - It was cute. Not quite what I was expecting, but still cute. I would have been happy if the entire movie had been the pets doing funny stuff at home while their owners were gone (which is mostly what I had been expecting). Still cute though.

We're almost done with it. I'm having trouble staying focused and am also reading on my phone.

MH fell asleep. Not a surprise though, that happens often watching movies unless it's something he really wanted to see and really got into it.
