Since my parents got divorced, my little brother and I have always split up the holidays. Now, that we live all over the continental USA, it is more difficult (and crazy expensive) to travel ON the major holidays, such as Thanksgiving. A few years ago, Adam and I spend a LOT of money and time stuck in airports, instead of having quality time with our family in Florida. Sooooo...we changed the rules...we decided to have our family Thanksgiving....early...every year.
I just got home from the 2011 Turkey-day and it was an awesome time!! Got to spend quality time with them and their new addition, Tazzy (the little black kitty). My parents cooked an amazing meal and invited some of our friends to join (yey, Jenna, for making the trek from Miami!!!) and it was a blast! Already can't wait for next year!
That's a great idea! It IS crazy expensive to travel on the holidays. It's good to see your family. LOVE little Tazzy. He looks like my Chico when he was a baby!
