Well, we were worried, Clara was bunking up with her cousins, she'd be kept up all night by them. Turned out Clara was the instigator of all the games. We put the kids to bed and Clara really enjoyed the fact that she had roommates. She laughed, talked, and threw all her toys out of her bed. Preston and Lila played along but eventually got tired. We heard Preston at one point say to Clara, if you want to see puppy again you won't do that. It was too funny. I removed Clara from the room so the other two could fall asleep. Once they were asleep, Clara went back to bed and fell asleep herself. Of course, she was up early and was lovin her roommates again.
Mike and I took advantage of being with the family and spent Friday out shopping while Clara hung out with her grandparents and cousins (Raymond and Melissa had left by then to go to Maryland for a wedding sans the kids). Got a good start to our Christmas shopping done. Hate to admit it but it felt good to not feel rushed at the stores.
Saturday morning, we played outside in the leaves with the kids. Nice their lawn has trees. Clara doesn't see many leaves in her neighborhood. She loved running through the leaves. And they buried Uncle Michael/Daddy in the leaves. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
Clara asked for her cousins by name for several days after the weekend. She missed them. Oh, and she learned who exactly her Grandma and Grandpa are and called them by name. Speaking of Grandma and Grandpa, she sees her Grandpa walking outside and points to him and says "Papa." I was like, yea. Then she saw a man out somewhere and pointed to him and said "Papa." Funny. Anyway, she learned "Papa" and then "Grandpa." And then she called grandma, "Papa." Now she calls both "Papa." She loves her grandparents and squeals and smiles whenever she sees either set.
Here are some photos from the weekend.
Enjoying her time with Grandma B.
