Colin's first Christmas

It was an exciting last few days with Colin’s first Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at my Dad’s house with the in-laws in town as well. The whole gang was together. Most of my closest family members were there and as expected, Colin was the star of the show.

He did great spending the day at Grandpa’s house and enjoyed being held by pretty much everyone. Watching my Dad get excited to hold Colin was a moment I’ll always remember. It was a special time for sure and one that we’ll remember.

It was also an exhausting few days. Our worst comes out when we’re tired and I can’t say I was the best version of myself at times. The sleep debt adds up over time. Once you add in social events and alcohol to the mix, and it becomes a cocktail of exhaustion.

I finally feel a bit more normal today after getting some decent rest last night. I was able to get some work done this morning and I’m going to try to get a quick workout in after lunch. Work seems to be finally slowing down and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My hope is that by Monday we’ll be completely wrapped up for the year. Then I can focus on recovering and taking a break. I’m clearly tired and burnt out and I need some time so I can be the best version of myself again.
