The holidays were strange this year. I mean, most people encounter stress and family dysfunction during Thanksgiving and Christmas but it's usually emanating from their actual families. This year, all of the stress came from my urban family with much drama from Thanksgiving into New Year's! With my actual family, everything was awesome.
My lovely sister who I adore, my beautiful terror of a 5 year-old niece, and my wonderfully mellow and special brother-in-law visited and stayed with me for nearly two weeks right after Christmas. We had so much fun together just doing nothing: hanging out watching movies, walking around the neighborhood, and just constantly making each other laugh. I am so happy for my sister Yosh that she has such a beautiful, unique daughter in Ava and that she and George have wonderful partners in each other. My sister so deserves that, I feel incredibly blessed to have the type of relationship with my sister that I do now to appreciate her in that way and be happy for her.
It was inspiring and fun to see this trio in action.
Here are more pics from their visit here, including some grooming adventures with BC.
Oh, as a footnote, the aforementioned urban family drama was all resolved, everything tied up in a neat bow in the end with lessons for each side to grow on, all After School Special-style and shit.
