We promised ourselves at the beginning of the year that we wouldn't travel quite as much this year as we did last year ... As it turns out, if we want to spend time with family and friends, that puts traveling in the equation. So far this year, the twins and I have been to MI and TN and all 4 of us have been to OK, and I have a feeling we are just getting started!
Our most recent (big) trip was down to my brother's house in Oklahoma to join in on the celebration of our niece Alivia's 4th birthday. It was such an enjoyable time! When the boys weren't napping on the drive there and back, they happily kept entertained with this or that -- a little different than how it used to be!! The art-themed birthday party was quite a success, complete with a rainbow cake, rice crispy paintbrushes, and finger painting.
My dad (Papa, according to the grandkids) flew in Sunday afternoon and Ryker had Monday off school, so we stayed through Monday afternoon and got to spend a little more quality time with the family.
