[quote=Anonymous]I actually find that our entire family sleeps better in one room during vacations. The older one loves to sleep in bed with us, the younger is in a portable crib. I would would be less worried about all being in one room versus what bed arrangment is there? 2 double beds? One king etc? Your older one will likely fall asleep in bed you can return to activities or sleep while the kids are sleeping to give your rest and sanity. If there are 2 beds in the room you and 11 month old sleep together - nurse on demand at night, older one is in bed with your DH.

Its such a big occasion I think this is a moment you have to suck it up. Other alternative is staying 25 miles away and only attending certain events - it will be hard if the big stuff is at dinner time which won't correspond nicely with your kids needs. Having the kids in the house means you can still participate and quickly squirrel them away for sleep - naps or bedtime.

Have you tried staying together in one room. While its not our ideal we have found it works out better than you might expect. Certainly better than having your kids sleep with a much older cousin. [/quote]
