as for many of you as well, the holidays tend to be crazy for us. we do lots of pre-planning to try and be proactive in not making it crazy and then we blink our eyes and it is over and we have yet again run ourselves crazy. so here we are almost through january and i am just getting my blog up to date.
out travel season started the weekend before christmas with a trip to burnsville for the weekend. we were able to visit with my parents, aunt and uncle, cousin seth in from oregon, and granny. the trip was short but productive.
we were home for a couple of days before we left for ny for to spend christmas with dan's family. if i have said it once i have said it a hundred times.....his family is huge......which left us on the go to make sure we got to see everyone. donovan had a blast with all the goings' on. he yet again amazed us with his up beat personality despite his sleep deprivation and sensory overload....he is more and more like his father everyday :) we hit a record on our last day of driving home when we were in the car for 9 hours after an exhausting trip and we clocked donovan at sleeping for 35 minutes. the bright side of that is that he was not screaming. he did great just had to be distracted from the fact that he was strapped in one position.
we got home and unloaded, did some laundry and had a late christmas morning with donovan before our house guests arrived for a few days. dan's parents, pops and bammie, have made it a tradition to spend new year's with us while on their way to florida for the winter. this year we also hosted my brother matthew and his boyfriend seth. we had a great time cooking and eating and cooking and eating. donovan loved spending time with everyone, but demanded that matthew be a part of whatever he was doing. we had a great entrance to 2012.
hope the new year is treating everyone well!
