43

Days, that is.

Until the next big thing.

Today I am thankful that in 43 days, mass chaos will descend upon my parents’ home. Three nephews, two brothers, two SIL’s, not to mention my 4 girls, myself, and the rowdiest of them all, Ed, will park themselves at my parents’ for approximately 7 days for a ton of Christmas celebrating. There will be chocolate, of that I am sure. There will be way too much food, way too many presents, pictures, laughter, games of Catan, pictures, commotion, train whistles, pictures, and more chocolate.

I love it. It’s my favorite 7 days of the year. I can’t wait.
