We flew out to Virginia to see my family the week of Valentine's Day. What a WONDERFUL trip! We had snowy days, great sledding experiences- (Baby No loved it, too), Cheesecake Factory TWICE, lots of laughing and singing and my brother and his band played in a "Battle of the Bands" of sorts that we went to! We hit our favorite spots like "Friendly's", "Chick-fil-a" and "Buzz and Ned's BBQ". We also went to this great bouncy house with the kids! It's always fun when I get together with my sisters! We were cracking up about the the most hilarious things! :) Ok, probably dumb things to regular people... :) The flight out was stressful-ish, but we've had worse! The way back Rose screamed for about 10 awful minutes and once Dave put her on the ground, she and Easton and Lily all slept for 2 1/2 hours (thank you Benadryl). Can't beat that. Then they just snacked and watched movies for the last 1 1/2 hours and we were home! So it was a little crazy, but not too bad since all the kids love movies and Rose doesn't have the mess of bottles and baby specialty food. Less baggage! We were all very sad to go and my kids loved it there. I just took a million pictures (of course) and lots of video. It was really great.
I was so happy to have that time with my parents and siblings. I was just trying to soak up every minute and show off my kids to their grandparents, who don't get to see them very often. It is heart-breaking to live far away from your parents and I want my kids to have a real connection with them so much. I was very happy to be back in my childhood home with the people that I love the most in all the world! Love you Mom, Dad, Orin, Cordell, Lorel, Cora, Ella and Craig! Gibbs, you and your family were missed! :)
