On the day after Christmas, we picked up my mom at Crystal and Grant's early that morning to take her back to Nashville. As she was giving hugs and telling everyone good-bye, Avery told GiGi that she could come back and stay with them anytime she wanted to. :)
The rains had stopped and we had a good drive back to Nashville getting mama back home right around noon; but our return trip back to Atlanta got stalled in Chattanooga again. After looking it up on the internet, I found out that Chattanooga is #1 in the nation for truck traffic going through its city. No wonder the traffic always slows down to a crawl through Chattanooga!
We got back to Atlanta around 5 pm and went straight back to Crystal and Grant's so we could visit Larry and Laura Robinson, Grant's parents, who had just flown in from California. They had just ordered pizza and we had a delicious dinner of Fellini's Pizza and salad. And I think Avery and Hannah were in grandparent heaven with two sets of grandparents to play with them!
After church on Sunday, Chuck and I went back to the motorhome to get it ready for leaving early Monday morning and then we spent the rest of the afternoon back at Crystal and Grant's.
Since it was another nice day with temps in the 70's, we all walked over to the playground near their house. Avery and Hannah have no trouble swinging on the big swings now!
And with a little help from her mom, Avery can even swing from the monkey bars.
After playing on the playground about 45 minutes, we walked back to their house.
Avery really likes her new scooter!
Grant and Larry cooked another delicious meal of Italian sausage and rotini. After dinner, we gave our last hugs and kisses to Hannah and Avery before they went up to bed.
After the girls were in bed, all 6 big kids played two games of SkipBo with the guys playing the girls. The guys won both games! What's up with that???? Oh well, I guess we girls had to let them win with all the cooking, gift-wrapping, and toy assembling they have been doing!
We had such a good time talking and visiting with Larry and Laura again. We hadn't seen them since right after Hannah was born last year and we had a lot of catching up to do.
Our eleven nights of Christmas in Atlanta absolutely flew by but they were filled with the best presents of all for Chuck and me: our family!
