new to the Big D

[ClingingToHope]

We have had separate Thanksgivings for the past two years and plan to for the third year. XW always has her mom and sister over for Thanksgiving and since I'm no longer related to them I see no reason to spend time with them. I took my daughters to my aunt's house two years ago. This year is my year and I'm taking them to my cousin's house in Wisconsin.

We've even talked about renting a hotel room and enjoying a meal at the hotel and swimming.

Christmas. So far I have gone to the old house both of the last two years in the morning. I want the girls to be able to enjoy waking up in their house and opening presents.

The house is for sale though and if she sells and moves to a new place I don't plan on continuing because the link will be gone. At that point, my house will be more of a home to them than any new place she buys.
