Grandmommy and Pops apparently got the feeling that we all (meaning Forrest, me, Carter, and Olivia) could use a break from each other, so I got an email from them midway through December saying that they wanted to take Carter and Olivia for a couple of nights. They said they sensed the twins could use a vacation from us (ha ha) so they gave us the choice of two weekends: the nights leading up to Christmas, or the weekend of New Years. I responded with "BOTH!".
So, that's exactly what happened. Grandmommy and Pops picked up C and O on the evening of Thursday, December 22 and took them to the lake house. We joined them there on Saturday, December 24 around lunchtime. Also, on Saturday Dec 31, they picked up the babies and took them to their house. We went and picked them up on Monday Jan 2.
These two weekends were such a gift - it gave us the opportunity to pack. Thanks so much Grandmommy and Pops!
Then, as if that wasn't enough, the next weekend (the one before we moved), Aunt Sue and Uncle Jim picked up the babies and took them to Grandmommy and Pops house. We had THREE WEEKENDS IN A ROW without the babies. Whoa! We missed them so much, but it was necessary as we had to get packed and ready for our move.
We have the best family!
