Right before the summer ended, I received a message from one of my grandmothers asking if they could come for a visit. Of course, I love spending time with everyone and jumped at the chance. We began to plan for a quick overnight trip. Then we decided it may as well be a big trip and invite caboodles of people: cause why not?
In August, we managed to find a time everyone could come down. I had to kick Graham out and send him over to his parents for more space :) We had to arrange to have multiple air mattresses brought in for all of our sleeping arrangements. Then I had 2 Grandmas, 2 Aunts, 1 Mother, 2 cousins and 1 sister come to stay the night in my small apartment. My bed, the pull out mattress, 1 queen air mattress, 2 twin air mattresses and my loveseat were used to give everyone a place to sleep. It was a packed place, but we didn't mind it. We enjoyed going out to eat together, cooking up a big breakfast at home and strolling through a few shops for goodies. We didn't have any set plans other than to enjoy ourselves, which always creates a stress-free trip!
My maternal side tries to get together at least annually for a fun little get away- this year we had two! We always manage to have big laughs and that makes it worth any amount of hassle. I look forward to carrying on these traditions when we have children. Thanks for coming over ya'll, love each of you :)
(Silly? I'm the only one who looks over-the-top though.)
