Goodbyes and Hellos

We had to take Grandpa back to the airport today.  My mom came and stayed with the kids so that we could just go and not worry about the kids at the airport.  It was a good thing too!  By the time we found a parking place at the airport it was on the other end from where we needed to check in.  Len Sr. was definitely ready for the wheelchair by the time we got to the check in counter.  Thankfully they gave me a guest pass and I was able to go through security with him and right to the gate.  I was able to wait there with him until they took him to board the plane.  It has been so nice having him for the last week and a half.  We wish he lived closer!  Before we left for the airport I attempted to get a picture of the kids with him… this was the best one!

On the way home from the airport I detoured through Lethbridge and picked up the package from B&T.  Emma and Ben were more than little excited to open MORE presents!  As you can see from Emma’s expression, she LOVED her gifts!

For New Year’s Eve, we got to celebrate with the Olsen family.  We had dinner together and then played a bunch of Minute to Win It games.  It was the perfect way to bring in the new year!  The clocks were set ahead so at 10:00 we rang in the new year.  We got the kids home by about 10:30, kissed each other good night and climbed in to bed!  We are such party animals!
