Grams Week

Tom's traveling schedule during the pre-season is intense so for the 3rd year in a row, Gram has made a trip out during that time to help, play, and keep me sane while he is gone!!  She planned the trip this year so that she could be here for the girls first day of school as well.  The week was very busy with soccer and getting ready for school. 

The girls at the airport waiting for Gram to come down the escalator!

 

 

 

We miss celebrating birthdays with our family so when we figured out that Grams birthday was pretty close to when she would be here we were excited to celebrate with her.  She walked into a decorated house with streamers and balloons - a Kiara and Mckenna specialty!  We had cracked crab (that we had to clean ourselves, you can ask her about that - ha) and it was so much fun for all of us!

 

Lunch with Gram!

Ahhhhh!

 

We left Ava at home with the babysitters so we could do lunch, shopping, and pedicures! 

 

It was such an FUN day!

 

 

Our trip wouldn't be complete with out Five Guys.

 

Before our summer Seattle trip, Mckenna made a project for herself.  She cut out pieces of paper and put stickers on each one.  She spend hours on this project.  Some of you might have received some in the mail a while back.  Anyway, she spent about a half hour setting them all out for Gram to see and to pick some to take home for her and for Gramps!

 

MC and Gram!

 

The girls favorite thing that they did with Gram while she was here was go swimming.  I think it was for Gram too.  They spent 2 hours in the pool - playing, laughing, and having the BEST time!

 

 

It was a really great week with Gram.  She and I even got the babysitters for an afternoon so we could go shopping.  I am so glad she was here for Kiara and Mckenna's first day of school.  Pictures of that will be posted next!
