This past weekend Charlotte and I had a blast in PA! It was our first time traveling alone, without Daddy and it went pretty well. We got lucky on our flight up - a whole row to ourselves (really only two seats, nothing crazy)! And, to Charlotte's surprise, GrandDad was there waiting for us in baggage claim (our bags were waiting for us for us too - that never happens.)!
Once we were all settled in the car, Charlotte, GrandDad and I stopped at McD's for lunch (no black eye this time) and then headed over to Mimi's school for a quick visit. Next, we went to Mimi and GrandDad's house where another surprise was waiting for Charlotte - a brand new play room chock-full of toys! Plus, TWO Christmas trees from which she could steal ornaments!
After a napless afternoon, we headed to PapPap and PopPops for dinner. The GG's were there and Lucy too! Charlotte had a blast with Max, PapPap and PopPop's dog. They did laps upon laps - through the living room, into the kitchen, then to the dining room and back again. Max would bark when Charlotte stopped so she kept going.
Saturday morning we had breakfast with Nona, PapPaw, Aunt KC, Jordan and Jenn. Charlotte was sneaky and put a pancake in Nona's glasses case. Pretty funny, if you ask me. Another surprise - it was snowing after breakfast (Charlotte's first)!
Charlotte and I headed back to Mimi and GrandDad's. She had a little play time with GrandDad while Mimi and I got ready to head out for Aunt Ciara's baby shower. Aunt Karen and cousin Courtney arrived to pick us up and off we went. Charlotte stayed behind with GrandDad for a little milk and a two-hour nap (way to go GrandDad!).
Upon our arrival at the Boyle abode we were greeted with more family, tons of 'I-haven't-seen-in-forever' friends and mountains of food and yummy treats. We stayed the whole afternoon and into the evening. Charlotte (and GrandDad) showed up after nap time to provide the evening's entertainment.
Our flight home was a bit more confined but Charlotte managed well with a little help from Dora and a set of headphones. It sure was a whirlwind weekend! We had a great time and loved getting to spend time with everyone! See ya'll again in two weeks!
