With an endless list of to-do's I'm getting through the day. After work today we'll be packing up the car and driving to central Oregon and spend a week's vacation with another couple rather than fly across the country to visit family. Months ago we decided to do something different this year and rent a house that will accomodate the four of us. We'll cook and share meals together and on Christmas morning wake up and exchange gifts. I love both sides of our family and always happy to see them but this Christmas trip will be more relaxing.
