Aloha Friday: Will your guest room be full?


My Question:

Who are you looking forward to spending the most time with during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays?

******************************************
We were hoping to spend our holidays with family but travel is out this year for budget reasons and every one lives at least two/three days driving.  Another very dear thing that I wanted so badly was to have a foster or adopted child with us this year (that has not work out just yet so we'll wait).  So for us it will just be our immediate family. 

Have a wonderful weekend! Aloha!

We would love if we could make it to be with family and good friends.. but unfortunately by now the plane tickets are just too expensive and it looks like 70% we won't be able to make.. we hope there's gonna be a huge reduction with the left over tickets close to Christmas... if not... we have to figure out another plan..:P
Happy Friday!

* my Aloha Friday's up too:)

We're looking forward to spending time with our close friend over Thanksgiving without having to act differently around his pseudo girlfriend since she won't be here.

We won't have any guests at Christmas. Looking forward to spending time with just us.

JDaniel4's Mom November 20, 2009 5:38 AM  

We won't have anyone at our house. We are praying my father in-law is up for us coming to his house.

Auntie E November 20, 2009 6:16 AM  

My sister-in-law and her husband, critter and Alex. My new family and I love them greatly.

What guest room?! LOL Lots of extended family is coming into town, but they are staying with my Aunt's family and grandmother.

Dee November 20, 2009 7:39 AM  

The baby just took over the guest room! LOL! My aunt is coming in and staying with my mom. I like just spending time with everyone as a family-it's so nice.

Jennifer November 20, 2009 8:12 AM  

My husband and sons. We do not have any extended family we celebrate holidays with.

Annie November 20, 2009 9:14 AM  

My husband's family! We only see his cousins once a year and I can't wait to see them again :)

Whimsical Creations November 20, 2009 9:15 AM  

We go to visit my family during the holidays (they live 4hrs away). I am really looking forward to going.

Karen November 20, 2009 9:19 AM  

We'll have a houseful of siblings and their families this year. My kids can't wait to play with their cousins, but I'm having a baby in less than a month and kind of wish I could have the year off from playing hostess during the holidays! Oh well!

We go and stay at my in laws for a couple of nights over Christmas. It is just so much work though, packing up three kids and going and then repacking and coming home. BUT, would not miss the chance to go and the kids to see some relatives that they don't normally see!

Annie November 20, 2009 12:24 PM  

We are going to celebrate with Family (we live near).

Stopping from An Island Life

Have a wonderful weekend.

I really don't enjoy having guests overnight at all. Our guest room will be empty.

~ Noelle November 23, 2009 10:28 PM
