I haven't seen him in 4 years! I definitely noticed things about us that were the same and then things that were so different. It was interesting. And while I had a GREAT time with them here, it was so nice to just hang out in my pajamas and relax a bit when they left. My brother and his almost wife stayed with us last week.

My sister and I are too much alike and it makes for some very stressful family get-togethers....

I know what you mean about spending time with people. I once dated this guy who I really liked talking to and spending time with, but when he came to visit and I spent like five days STRAIGHT with him, I knew it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't do it, no matter how much I liked him...the little things got to me! Not even random differences between us, just spending all that time together! On the other hand, one hour with my first college roommate and I knew I was in for a long year.

I think that's a very good point. Um, yeah. There is a lot of this with my family. No need to get into specifics. ;) I never really thought about things being more intense when you don’t spend a lot of time one on one with someone. I think that’s a very good point.

My family visits are always very intense. We love each other, but sometimes all that togetherness just gets to be too much! We used to joke that we couldn't have a single family visit without someone crying and storming out of the room by the second day. It would be an exagerration to say that now (we've gotten a lot calmer as we've gotten older...or maybe we're just better at hiding our anger!), but it definitely still happens occasionally. It's funny, because I feel like with me, my mom, and my sister, our similarities are the root of just as many fights as our differences...maybe even more! In any case, it looks like you had a great weekend! I love that picture of your cat supervising the baking activities...Santa's little helper ;-) Your post made me miss Chicago-- I went to Purdue for grad school, and we would drive to Chicago every chance we got.
