The day after Christmas we drove down to Pop and Gran's house to spend the weekend with them. My stepbrother, Chris, his wife, Katie, and their daughter, Ella, were there the same weekend so it made for an extra fun visit!
Gran gave Jacob a replacement copy of his favorite book Where Is My Cat? His first is torn to shreds and this one is headed there quickly. She also gave him a new green lovie which we were both excited about considering how tattered his others are!
Miller had so much fun playing with Ella and she was a big help with Jacob!
Breaking in their new toys!
Jacob helped himself to a few yummy treats and I stole a few kisses.
Even with all of the fresh, homemade treats Ella and Miller chose the month old gingerbread house and week old gingerbread train as their dessert after just about every meal.
As you can see, we stayed in pajamas and ate lots of treats while we were there.
One of Miller's gifts was Hi-Ho-Cherry-O and he has loved it!
Cousin picture time!
It was such a fun weekend and I'm so glad we were able to visit with Chris, Katie, and Ella. Pop and Gran graciously let us leave the boys with them for a few days so that we could go to Nashville for New Year's Eve to celebrate my sweet friend Maggee's engagement at a surprise party. We even had a full day at home with no kids to put away all of our Christmas decorations! It is pretty crazy the things I get excited about these days. I'm not sure they'd be on board, but I'd like to book that gig every year ;) Thanks for a wonderful weekend and for the few days of freedom, Pop and Gran!
What a wonderful, relaxing visit we had in celebrating the birth of our Savior! It was indeed a gift to have all of you there, so glad that Ella, Jacob and Miller got to spend some time together. It was heart warming to see the kids enjoy some old fashioned, simple activities and treats. Pop and Gran have missed watching "The Polar Express" and "The Little Engine That Could", all snuggled up with our three little cuddle bunnies. And of course, we will be happy to make it a New Year's tradition! Hopefully, Mia, Ty and Meadow can join us next year. Such great memories and fun times. Of course staying in PJ's all day made all the grown up kids a little camera shy but it is worth the tradeoff ( you know how I love pictures). I so look forward to summer days of Camp Alexander with all the grandkids coming to stay with Pop and Gran! Love you always, Gran (and Pop too!)
