Kaitlyn liked seeing the airplanes at the airport. And she wasn't too bad on the flights- we watched Caillou for three hours, then cried for the last ten minutes when they had us turn off the netbook. Then we RAN through the Memphis airport, got a pizza, made our connection, screamed loudly for the first ten minutes of the flight when she was overtired, and slept the rest of the way to Cleveland.
When we got to Grandma's house, my parents had a panic moment when she got excited and said "train!", expecting to see the one that went around the Christmas tree. I was just impressed she remembered it from five months ago.
Not to worry. Grandma had lots of things to spoil a little girl with. Next door neighbor was done with this kitchen and a cozy coupe car, for starters. That was a big hit.
And, since my brother is currently living at home, his cats are too. Socks is honestly the best cat I have ever met. He is smart- comes when Dan calls him, etc- and very patient with my kids.
And this was my mom's big "suprise" for us. And let me tell you, she is in love. These things are a mess and a half, but my kids both love spending hours moving sand around.
As our suprise for Granmda, we brought her doughnuts from Daylight because she loves them and gets them whenever she comes to visit us. But they got a little smooshed on the way. Grandma enjoyed all the big pieces, but we had our little girl help us out with the crumbs. Yum.
Yup, life is good at Grandma's house.
