Every year on Christmas evening, we go to a family friend's cousin's house and every year we say never again. The cousins are extremely sweet, but it's a long drive and goes late. Consistently, we have two cranky kids the next day. DH usually has to work the day next day, so he is exhausted as well. The gathering is geared more towards adults (though there are other kids there), so we spend the majority of our time trying to keep the kids out of trouble, because there are flat out bored. This year I told my mom we aren't going. DD would rather play with her new toys and neighborhood friends and we would rarther have a relaxing low key day. I know she is disappointed and asks me every time I talk to her if we are definitely not going. And then there is her 1 million reasons why we should go. But I am holding strong!
