My mom and dad visited us at the beginning of May. It was my mom's second trip to visit us, and my dad's first. They decided to visit us over the Mother's Day holiday and my birthday. I think this is the second Mother's Day I've spent with my mom in the past 12 years.
We really didn't do anything special... but rather, just enjoyed time together in our new house and the yard. The kids were excited to take Gammy and Papa on walks, show them the forest, play with them on their new swing set, cuddle them while watching cartoons, they read lots of books together, and just enjoyed easy, unplanned fun.
Rocco got to ride the tractor lawnmower with Papa... Giuilana went on numerous wagon rides with Gammy, and Gabby showed everyone her dance routines and gymnastics moves.
Dan was in the midst of making chicken tikka for our Mother's Day dinner and the glass P.yrex pan he was using to broil the chicken literally exploded into a million pieces the second he took it out of the oven and set it down. So... we spent the next half hour cleaning up all the glass and keeping the kids away from the excitement. And, then we ended up getting takeout for dinner.
We also managed to get two half-decent photos of my parents with the kids. Seems like it is next to impossible for all of my kids to look in the direction of the camera at any given time.
