Christmas Whirlwind

I'm not going to lie, traveling to Michigan for Christmas this year was exhausting. I'm not sure if its because Christmas snuck up too fast OR, if its just getting harder to go "home"?
Holiday vacation is suppose to be relaxing, yet we jet up to MI and run around town trying to visit with as many friends and family as possible before throwing ourselves in a car back to Dallas. We return to work exhausted, dead, and have spent no quality time together as a twosome! I guess that's what we get for moving away - a whirlwind holiday runaround each year. But I have to wonder... What happens when we have kids? I'm not going to put them through this?! And, I want them to have Christmas morning in their own home ... Ya know, where Santa comes and brings their gifts! I just don't know how long we can keep this up! It can be an emotional rollercoaster traveling 1,000 miles at Christmas!
Despite the craziness of the week, it was absolutely wonderful to see friends and family! We are so blessed to have such amazing people in our lives that love and support us over the miles. We are thankful for you all.
A big thanks to the Stefanich's for hosting our "FRIENDS" Christmas party...we LOVED visiting with everyone and taking down a few beverages ;-) Also, we had a lovely time Christmas eve and Christmas day with the Simon's and received some wonderful gifts! Karger Christmas continued with more celebration on the 26th with a big spread and more presents! Paul and I both got to catch up with some old friends for lunch and drinks before heading home to the BIG D. We appreciate everyone who made time to see us before we headed south!
Love and hugs to you all!
xoxo
