We have spent the last two Christmas' with my parents so the Christmas this year is for Tyler's family. His mom's side of the family has a Christmas together every two years and it coincides with this one as well (mostly a good thing). I was excited when I found out his Uncle Roger was hosting this year as they live in Calgary, to my dismay we got an email this weekend announcing that they are having it at a resort in south Saskatchewan...a mere 6-7 hour drive from here. Boo!
Our options are to stay in a one bedroom cabin for $125/night or a two bedroom cabin for $140/night. Tyrone, Kim & the kids asked us to share a two bedroom cabin with them and Tyler said yes. I am opposed to this for several reasons:
1) there is only one bathroom,
2) the kids & Kim will likely drive me crazy over the course of the 5 days & 4 nights,
3) Four adults, 3 kids & 2 dogs seems like too much for a likey, tinee tiny 2 bedroom cabin,
4) right now Dexter really needs his down time from other people.
I am allowing it to happen anyway because $600 is a lot to swallow on our own and it's Tyler's family so he can orchestrate it how he likes. Dexter will also be 2 by then so he may be different. We'll also hopefully be having a common area for all the families to hang out in, so hopefully won't be spending too much time in the cabins. I am going to try to have fun no matter what, but right now I am irritated.
My first question is: are tyrone and kim going to be... together then? I thought they were seperated - as in he lives with his mom and she's single mom-ing it in calgary?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's kind of fun - Christmas in a cabin! Too bad of the distance. I'll try and remember to mention logan's behaviours as far as going away around that age 2 mark (even though dex and him are different people there might be some standard similiarities at that age?)
No they are not together now. Their plan is that Kim & Tehya will sleep in the room and Tyrone & Kira will sleep on a pull out couch.
ReplyDeleteinteresting dynamic... should be a good blog at the very least when the time comes!
