and then she was gone

Thanksgiving feasting
Black Friday shopping
Christmas tree trimming
chocolate fondue-ing
sewing and sewing
caramel corn making

The thought did cross my mind to get on southwest.com early Thursday morning and cancel her flight so she couldn't leave.

But we have to share, so we let Grandma go to continue gallivanting around the country bringing happiness and joy to adoring children.... she's sort of like our family's Santa Claus.
Until it's our turn again...

The fondue looks good. We've used our pot twice this weekend. . .it's just that time of year, isn't it?

Awwwe. I am still sore over the fact that she is not coming here ALL through the holidays AND that I had to make the caramel corn by myself. What WOULD we do without her?

How fun to have your mom there for a visit! I'm sure its hard to share her with all the other grandkids, but I'm pretty excited for when my mom can actually travel and come visit US! I got your cute Christmas card and picture. Thanks so much!

I love your Mom! That's so great that she came to visit and bring some holiday cheer. By the way, your kids are so cute. I think your family has definitely grown since the last time I saw you and Matt. Very cute. Hope you're doing well!
