We were very spoiled and were able to have Grandpa & Grandma Holbrook stay with us in the month of March. My dad was with us just a couple of days, but then my mom stayed with me for 5 more additional days! It was fantastic!!! It has been really hard living so far away from them. I think the hardest part has been the distance for my kids. I have to say however, no matter what the distance is, G&G Holbrook manage to keep relationships strong!!! My children have such a connection with both of them. Tylee has learned the speed dial on my cell phone for each of them (and has known it for quite some time), so they can count on at least one call from her almost daily! It has formed such a special bond between them.
Anyway, while they were here we had a blast! We celebrated Dave's birthday, made cinnamon rolls with Grandma (a family favorite!), ate at In & Out (of course!), and hit the Dollar Store, just to name a few! My mom and I actually went to the 3D movie of Hannah Montana where we were given free T-shirts! The lady selling tickets at the theatre about died when she heard that a 60 year old and her 31 year old daughter were there to watch Hannah Montana! We had so much fun! I will cherish every single second we spent together! Dave was so awesome to let us come and go and do whatever we wanted! We got an entire day of shopping just the two of us thanks to my wonderful husband! The highlight was the Dollar Store experience! The kids thought they had hit the jackpot! Grandma even gave them an extra dollar so they got to get 2 prizes! The most simple things can bring so much joy and happiness to a child! Oh to be a kid again!!!
