Ever since we found out a few weeks ago that Sara, Kevin, Claire & Emma would be coming back for Christmas, I’ve been in over-excited drive & planning mode with like 300 things on a to do list….& over the top happy about all of it! Jill calls me the craziest Grandma & my sister in law says coming to my house for the kids is the next best thing to DisneyWorld…I'll take both those statements as compliments!
Since they wouldn’t be here until two days after Christmas, the actual holiday was fairly quiet. I had dinner for five (Phyllis, my brother & his wife) which was yummy with Danny grilling a KC Strip Roast…something we’d never had before. I baked Christmas cookies the rest of the day & continued my prep for the girls.
It was a blast having them here! The early mornings were filled with warm snuggles & reading; the rest of the days & evening was full of fun—costumes, playing in a teepee, baking, crafting, celebrating Claire’s 4th birthday, friends, family & general awesomeness! I sooooo love these girls!
Wow! the days just flew by, but we loved every minute of it! The trip to the airport lacked a tearful Gki, because….I’ll be flying down next week to see the girls, Sara & Kevin & will be spending a month in Florida!!!!!! Check back on Tripscibbles for my first trip of 2019…there will be lots of time with these sweet girls, but some adventures with Jill & maybe some time by myself to explore!
