Soon, it’ll be Easter Sunday (next Sunday, actually).

Around every holiday, I get my calendar out and we literally start penciling people in.

“Oh, you want Easter Sunday at noon?  Sorry, that block is already taken.  We can pencil you in around 5pm though.  How does that sound?  Or, Saturday.  Saturday, we have a 9-11am block, 11:30am -2pm, 2:30-5pm, and a 5pm-8pm block.”

I’m not even kidding.  Christmas is the worst though.

I never really imagined how crazy it would be to integrate traditions.  I mean, Steven and I love the same things, so it’s just appeasing our families.  And, don’t get me wrong…we want to be with them…all of them.  But, we run out of “holiday time” to do it all.

And, when you have a baby, all bets are off.  Everyone wants a piece of “that”.

Easter is actually going to be pretty easy.  We’ve worked out a system.   I have basically 4 blocks set aside.  That’s PLENTY.  We have Saturday Early Afternoon, Saturday Evening, Sunday Early Afternoon, and Sunday Evening.  Once someone calls and fills it, it’s taken.  First come, first serve.  Well, sort of.  I’m hoping that’s the way it works.  Smoothly.

I think it will.

I hope it will.

Welcome back!
