I'm trying to make up my mind what makes sense all around! Finally talked to my sister-in-law - they're going to one sister's for Christmas Eve and then to her Mom's for the actual day. I'm pretty much welcome to crash either party, though the Christmas Eve deal is going to be a hugh crowd...
And church has to fit into there somewhere. Maybe I could go on Christmas Even, and then on Christmas Day just stop by her mom's that evening...come home for a bit after hanging out with you guys, check on Cisco and go back up to Tacoma to drop off presents.
I need a few more days of the week this week.
Oh, and it's official, I'm going to have another niece. Kept saying "niece" when really we didn't know which one it was gonna be, but I was right. ;-)
How about this? You could follow us up in the morning, and then leave when you want and go to your brother's MIL's directly. You'd be practically there on the way home, it'd be a lot of extra driving to come all the way home first. We'll be coming back here somewhat early - hopefully by or close to dark, we can go get Cisco when we get home if you aren't home yet, then you can stay as late as you want.
