My hubby and I just spent a delightful weekend with family. Our older son and his wife came over Thursday and spent Friday with us. They left their 22 month old daughter with us as they had to work both days of the weekend. Nana and Papa were happy to babysit. Saturday morning Nana had a commitment so Papa had Claire all to himself. Claire fed our husky, Sable, treats. Sable very carefully accepted treats from Claire. Feeding Sable was fun in Claire's words "Yeah, uh-huh." Then Papa and Claire took rides around the yard on the 4 wheeler (very slowly and cautiously) and it was "fun-fun, yeah, uh-huh."
When Nana got home we left for Cousin Jack's first birthday party. The party was at his other grandparents home and included friends and family from both sides.
Claire slept during our two hour ride there and woke up refreshed and ready to play. The kids went "wheeee" down the hill in the wagon and played on the slide outside. Cousins on both sides of the family enjoyed a good time playing together. Jack loved riding in his new truck his mommy and daddy bought for him. He also enjoyed scooting the present boxes around and playing with his new tractors and trucks. Nana got him a new book, The Little Blue Truck. (I am the Reading Nana after all.)
Jack had a special cake that he ate and smeared all over himself in the precious way only one year old's have. We all sang happy birthday (Claire had been practicing most of the week.) All the children savored cupcakes and balloons and their "consolation prizes." The adults got a chance to chat and catch up on each others' lives. A golden afternoon. "Yeah, uh-huh."
Nana and Papa and Claire left for Claire's house. We stopped for dinner at Taco Bell. Claire announced "tummy happy, yeah, uh-huh." We made it to Claire's house by bedtime.
Today Nana and Papa played with Claire while Mommy and Daddy worked. Papa ate cereal for breakfast so Claire had to have cereal too. "Yeah, uh-huh." Papa and Nana walked Claire around the block on her bike and went out to lunch with Daddy and Claire before heading home.
We had a great weekend! "yeah, uh-huh!"
