We have been looking forward to Grandma Marchant coming and visiting us for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately we didn't anticipate welcoming her with sick kids. Doug left work to come home and babysit so I could go pick her up at the airport. Sydney spent the entire day on the couch just miserable. It was a hard day to be a mom with 2 sick babies, but we were so glad Grandma was here with us through it all.
We took a short drive to Laie Point her first night here and kept the kids protected from the wind in the stroller.
The next morning, Grandma slept in a little and Ethan and Sydney couldn't wait to see her. Ethan was especially disappointed when she didn't open the door after one knock. We're working on patience these days.
We visited the park on campus and they instantly decided that Grandma is so fun to play with on the swing.
Ethan had a tough time waking up with the fever/cough/cold they had and just wanted to "cuddle" but I always ended up cuddling two kids after a moment with one.
We cancelled on our invites to Thanksgiving dinner and I ran to the store to get the fixings to do our own meal. If grandma wasn't here, we wouldn't have had a turkey--that was WAY too intimidating!
We thought it turned out pretty great.
But you can't beat the view we had for our meal.
Two fussy kids were kept busy when we challenged them to help us clear the table. They did excellent and were were so proud of themselves!
