I’m soooo over the holidays…
It seems like the holidays were a whole lot more fun when someone else was in charge of making the magic. Presents, cookies, parties, cards - ugh, I’m exhausted!
Nana spent her holiday with the other grandkids in the Northwest, and Jelly Dad and I headed to California for his parent’s anniversary celebration and Christmas. I made 5 batches of cookies/candy and 2+ trays of finger sandwiches, in addition to doing lots of dishes and cooking lots of appetizers. I don’t cook or do dishes that much at home in a week! (thanks to Nana, my meal prep place, and Jelly Dad, of course)
It was good to be with family for the holiday, but traveling with 2 children under the age of 5 plus way too many presents was a burden. Plus, even though I still had to do a lot of the footwork to make the magic happen, it was like being a guest at someone else’s Christmas.
Princess and Trouble had a great time, though, and I think that is most important. Then again, I sure could use a spa day about now.
