~Bonding Time with Grandma~

This past weekend we spent a few hours on Saturday(12/3/2011) over at Carol's house. It was so nice to be over there with her and visit. We stayed for a burger and watched a movie and just chatted, I miss being over there and have since realized we HAVE to start doing it WAY MORE!! Very important for Jason, Khloe & I to have that time. Of course Ben was there too, which was great! So many laughs and a lot of great new ideas. Carol is so crafty and is constantly sewing up a new contraption or piece of fabric for someone. I so need to get over there and learn from her. We went through some of her Christmas decorations because she wasn't wanting to do the decorations anymore, said it was just too much work so wanted us to have them. We got some amazing new things that I will cherish for years and years and years to come!

Sunday (12/4/2011) we actually ended up back over there for another visit. We originally were just planning on picking up the sippy cup that we left over there but ended up staying for about 3 1/2 hours. It was another great visit. We ordered a pizza and just relaxed on the couch (in between chasing after Khloe or picking her up right before she was in the dog's water dish-hahaha). Khloe seems to be a little reserved about letting Grandma Carol hold her (or really anyone for that matter), but we found a quick solution to that. We turned on Tangled, Khloe,'s favorite movie. about 20 minutes into the movie I had to get up and Carol reached for Khloe. It was an amazing moment. Khloe didn't hesitate. She snuggled right up with Grandma and watched her movie. They snuggled the rest of the time. I couldn't help but smile each time I would look at the 2 of them. They were both smiling and just enjoying the movie together. It seriously melted my heart to see.

Khloe hadn't taken a nap all day, with the exception of about 10 minutes as we were on our way to visit with Michelle (right before we went to Carol's house). So she was tired, but of course wouldn't fall asleep during her TANGLED show. As we were getting Khloe's coat on to go home, she began to get a little bit fussy and I knew she wouldn't last long at all. Well "Mom knows best" . We didn't even get the car around the corner before she was passed out!! It was absolutely hysterical. I think she lasted about 15 seconds before the was snoring in her seat. Sweet little Angel Face, slept so great all night last night too. Didn't make a noise. She was worn out. Grandma Carol just plum "wore her out", which was great. I am excited for several more visits to Grandma's house.
