Too much.
Wednesday after work driving to my sisters house (2 hours), staying there. Thursday lunch at her house then to the cabin for dinner (1 hour drive) I will be leaving the cabin to stay at my moms that night (30 min drive) while DH and the kids stay at the cabin. Friday shopping with my family (one hour drive each way), then back to the cabin (30 min). Saturday we have another thanksgiving dinner with dh's moms side (30 min drive) then back to Charlotte (2.5 hrs)
I am tired just thinking about it. We will have a lot of fun and eat tons of good food, but that is too much driving for me.
We are going to SILs in laws lol. BIL is an only child and they don't have family here so it is nice of them to want to host us all - DHs parents are coming into town and his brother lives here and will come too. DH is sad about not having leftovers, but I'm happy to not have to do much. I think we are bringing a pie.
Lunch at DH aunt's house and then dinner at my parent's house. Lily will most likely miss her nap. I'm going to make a pie and side dish for my mom's dinner.

We are going to my mom's for dinner and then to my inlaws for dessert. I hate breaking up the day that way, but it works for now. We split up Christmas and Christmas Eve and I enjoy those holidays much more!
We are going to my parents. I am excited for everything except for the actual traveling. G gets to play with cousins (my cousin's children) and H and I may sneak in a date date night!
Going to buffalo just me am Audrey. No idea what we're doing as there is major family drama surrounding it this year. I just want to go to a restaurant with my mom and Audrey and escape all the petty family shit. Bleh.
We're staying home and I'm cooking. Like last year, my ILs are driving to California to spend it with my H's aunt but we don't want to drive 6 hours each way for one day.

Heading to Ohio with my family for Thanksgiving at my brother's house. We have spent it with H's family for a few years in a row so I'm excited to spend it with mine this year. Although not looking forward to the long drive!
We have our first thanksgiving with my IL's today. Then we have an early meal on thanksgiving with my IL's, then having my family to our house that evening. I'm making the turkey and potatoes for that one.

We are hosting. I try for us to if we're both off work as it's easier than going to all the different family houses with the kids. I just finished my shopping trip. It will just be my dad, MIL and DH's grandparents coming to our house this year.
Going to my parents' house. They are hosting this year for our huge family. I got lucky and only have to bring the cole slaw and my family- this is funny- loves Chicken Shack cole slaw so we are just placing the order and picking it up. No cooking for me!

My Mom is cooking at my house on Friday and we invited the inlaws. My Mom is making R is own dairy free food
Friday because my Brother is a firefighter and works Thursday, my MIL is mad because it is Fri and we are not coming to her house Thurs. Oh and I invited BIL and SIL, they might come so that is maybe 4 extra people, or not.
