After several trips to multiple airports, everyone was finally here by lunchtime on the 23rd. My parents drove from Kansas with my sister Layne, my other sister Lauren flew up from Tampa with her husband Jesse, and my Grandma Randolph, Aunt Earlyn, and Uncle Verl flew in from Oklahoma. Whew! We are so glad that we didn't have to travel anywhere with two little ones and very grateful that everyone came to us.
The people that didn't do the airport runs on Thursday stayed at the beach house to get lunch (or dinner, as the Oklahomans call the midday meal) ready for the rest of us. We had a nice lunch there and then people rested up before supper. (It seems like we just ate our way through the holidays, and it was glorious!) Supper was back at our house and Dan was in rare form, very excited to see everyone. While we were eating dinner, he would go around the table, pointing at each person and naming them.
Dinner was followed by bath and bed for the boys and game-playing for everyone else. We play a dice game called Yap (kind of a homemade version of Yahtzee) and Dan was very interested in the rolling of the dice. I just love his chubby cheeks and little grin!
