We've been planning a surprise trip for weeks now. As far as the girls were concerned, "Grammie" couldn't make it for Christmas this year because she was just here at the end of October/beginning of November. They were pretty bummed, but they knew we were going to Skype with her so she could watch them opening their gifts. Little did they know that while we were coming down from our Christmas morning high, Grammie was up in the air on her way to Boise! So I "went to the store really quick" and picked Grandma up from the airport! (It is so nice living less than 3 miles from the airport now!) When I arrived home, Grandma stayed in the car for about 5 minutes or so while we set the girls up on the couch in front of the computer getting ready to Skype with her. Then came the knock on the door... "Who could that be on Christmas Day?" GRAMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The excitement in our house could not be contained, even in the slightest! I heard Hannah as she was talking to my Mom later that evening, "Grammie... out of ALL of my presents today, you were my favorite present!" It was awesome!
Even Sadie missed her Grandma!
Since Christmas Day is the Birthday of Jesus, Uncle Greg, and Sadie, we decided to make a cake to celebrate!! It sure was yummy and a great reminder for why we really celebrate Christmas!
Sadie was HILARIOUS! She truly adores Grandma and would not leave her side once she arrived. Grammie could hardly sit up because Sadie was leaning into her full force wanting to make sure she was touching her with as much of her doggy body as possible! It was too funny! Grandma kept having to scoot over but it didn't do any good because Sadie just kept scooting over too! :)
What a big day we had! Grandma even took part in the fun! Nerf guns... gotta love them!
