We were blessed and overjoyed to have my parents come and see us the Tuesday after Christmas. As usual they spoiled us. We mostly relaxed and just enjoyed each other with a few outings scattered here and there.
Making a welcome sign, moments before they walked in the door.
They're here!
Mom & Dad marked one present per kid to be saved and opened when they came. The kids also gave them presents that they bought w/ their own piggy bank money.
Yes his lips are blue...frosting from cookies I think.
This girl has been wanting her own sewing machine for a year now. She was ecstatic.
V was strutting in his construction hat.
We went and saw the Miracle of Christmas at Sight and Sound. And despite the look on my children's faces, they really did have a good time.
Climbing on Grandpa was a definite highlight.
Nine minutes before midnight on New Year's Eve.
Me: E, honey, don't go to sleep, it's almost time!
E: I'm not, I'm just resting my eyes.
J made it and toasted in the New Year with us. (Blood Orange Italian Soda, yum)
On Sunday it was time for them to leave and we said our farewells after a brunch at Cracker Barrel. And of course they got the kids treats when I wasn't looking. I guess I'll get over it and let them come back anyway. Sooner than later hopefully!
