I've just come home from Phoenix, where we were in the midst of frantic family "doings" for the weekend. We spent Thursday here and then left early Friday morning -- a full hour earlier than planned, thanks to DH's urging. Of course, the result of that urging was that I accidentally left my hand piecing project behind. Grrr! :S
That afternoon and evening were spent with DSonIL's family, who were having a second Thanksgiving. Saturday all day was spent with DH's extended family, who were having a "reunion", as MIL had mentioned months ago that it had been a long time since "everyone" had been together. Of course, there are reasons why not everyone likes to get together with everyone else, but we did it to please MIL. Fortunately, DH's sister *almost* behaved herself; she arrived tipsy and didn't get much worse. Also, DBIL's DW wasn't her usual sarcastic self, so things could have been much worse. It was really great to see a couple of nephews and nieces we hadn't seen in ages, and everyone took the requisite group photos. MIL has 10 grandchildren, only one of whom couldn't get there, and 11 greats -- all of whom were there. With various spouses, it was quite a crowd! I think there were 38 people, or thereabouts.
This morning, DH had me up by 5:30 and on the road shortly thereafter. I'm tired, and I didn't get to do *anything* vaguely quilty, but at least it's over. LOL! I'm glad to be home. :)
