OK here is the dilema...
1. Do we go up north for 4 days with our friends to their cabin tucked away in the woods in Wisconsin; kids play with their friends exploring the outdoors; adults talking, laughing and perfecting the appletini; cut our Christmas tree that when we get it home will probably be too big but beautiful just like Clark Griswold; but... it occured to me today, how can we cut down our Christmas tree and take our annual family picture without our dogs?!
or
2. Politely thank the friends for the wonderful invitation (we have said for years that we want to go up north but have yet to go up - will they think we don't like them and eventually stop inviting us?); enjoy the day off of school (the day before Thanksgiving); go to Grandma & Grandpa's where can enjoy family (this year holding Cora will be a much awaited addition to the entertainment and eat too much; the kids inevitably end up watching tv or going on the computer; then drive home late that evening; then traditionally go see a Christmas movie the day after Thanksgiving and finally traditionally cut our tree at a Christmas tree farm and take our annual family picture with our dogs? Will there be like a timer going for holding Cora? "Your time is up, it's my turn..."
I am really hoping we can make Ashley's Tuesday night lessons at Northwestern short and sweet but frequent stops to visit Cora.
Please share your thoughts by voting in the poll to the right.

What you can't make up your own mind?
If you must ask, then go up North. You must really want to do that or you wouldn't ask. And another thing; yopu don't want your friends to quit asking.
