A Poll about Christmas Future!
Ok, I had to finish the 'series', but I don't know wtf to ask about the future, so....
What are your plans for this Christmas? (since it's technically still in the future!) 
Re: A Poll about Christmas Future!
haha Christmas eve with R's big family, then Christmas morning with our kids...
then they go to their other parents' houses and we have 36 hours to ourselves! gonna celebrate his birthday and do not much of anything but relaxing
Christmas Eve with my family in the morning, and then we will head to my grandma's house. Church is at 7:00 this year, so we have to end things a little sooner than normal.
Christmas Day we will go to C's parents' in the morning, and then head down to his aunt's house for Christmas Day.
Our baby girl!!
Tonight is Candlelight Buffet at TCC with my family.
Tomorrow I'm doing some volunteering during the day since I actually get the day off of work - yay! I'll also be wrapping presents.
4:00 we go to DH's family, 7:00 I go to church w/ my family and then we meet back up at my parents' after that.
Christmas day I go to my Grandma's while DH goes to church w/ his family, then we both go to his Grandparents' house.
taking my mil to christmas eve services, then making several stops before heading to my parents house (staying the night)
christmas morning....get up, take care of the dogs, get cinnamon rolls in the oven for breakfast (mom's still recovering from her knee replacement, so someone's got to get things started.... lord knows my dad won't do it
~ ), open gifts with the whole family, eat, and hang out.
and b/c of inlaw drama, we won't be going to their house at all this year.
Christmas Eve- Church service at 4:30 with Matt's family, back to my mom's for dinner and the Brown-Cooper Christmas, then candlelight church service at 11:00 pm (the church where we got married.)
Christmas Day- INSANITY. Start at Matt's parents' house to open gifts, then to my mom's for gifts and our traditional breakfast, then to Matt's one grandma's house, then to his aunt's for his other side of the family, then back to my mom's for dinner. Crazy 5-stop holidays for the Holtwick's.

July 26, 2008- The Best Day of Our Lives
3 years married already??
Wedding "Highlight" Video from our Reception!
Wedding Planning Bio!! My Married Bio!!
Nothing this year but sitting home with the 3 of us. I'm cooking DH's favorite breakfast casserole too. We aren't expecting any visitors and that is cool with me. Things will be busy next week as my vacay winds down. I wish we could visit with family a little more, but they are all busy and I'm not wanting to travel.
To be honest, this will probably be one of the last quiet Christmas's we have for awhile so I'll enjoy it.
Chrismas Day - The chaos begins - maybe going to his parents to open presents that morning, not sure yet. Then to DH's grandparents in Sandusky, basically repeating Thanksgiving. (Sigh) After that, trying to make it to my aunt and uncle's in Maumee at a decent time to see everyone and then home.
Christmas day is always ridiculously busy!
Christmas Eve with my immediate family - mom, dad, SIL, brother and H - we're going to Mancy's for our traditional Christmas Eve fancy night out.
After dinner, we go back to my parents' house and we each open one present and drink and play board games all night. I love Christmas Eve! 
Christmas Day - we have six Christmases to attend.... Yep, SIX. FIL's for breakfast and presents, my parents' for presents, H's grandma's for his dad's family's stuff, my aunt's for my family's stuff, H's other grandparents' to visit them and then MIL's for presents/dinner. We'll pretty much be on the go until probably 11:00ish and then H and I will do our gifts to each other whenever we get home.
My crazy starts tonight: ILs and family friends over to my house.
Tomorrow: I am going to the gym at 9 (yes, I am crazy) then to my parents at 5 for dinner and presents.
Christmas day: The B's and I will have breakfast together and open presents. Then the ILs come over for dinner. Then SIL and SS will come over to open gifts. Then we go to B's aunt's house to open gifts with her.
And in the heat of all that I have to find time for my brother and nephew we are driving down today from Alpena.
Christmas Eve we spend with my moms family.
Christmas morning were going over to SS's grandmas (BMs Mom) house for coffee and presents. Then back to our place for brunch and presents with my parents and brothers. Then out to BIL's for dinner and presents with FIs family.
