Pocky B and Grandma Birt decided to take the chance and travel during the winter. (They are always a bit apprehensive because of weather)... and although, their traveling dates and flights were smooth, they did get stranded here because of a small snow storm...errr, blizzard of almost 2 feet of snow... in Chicago... so, their trip that was originally going to last 4 days... was extended by a couple days! I'm sure they were VERY disappointed to have a couple of extra days to visit with two of their Granddaughters!
Unfortunately, for them, the girls had both been sick for a week/two just prior to their arrival, so Mom was not interested in taking them up to the mountains to the cold and snow. Sorry! But it did give everyone the chance to just hang out, chill, relax, and visit. Oftentimes, we find that we are so busy experiencing around us, that we miss the time to actually enjoy each other and make memories. So, this was a chance to do just that. We hung out, read books, watched movies, played with cars, just relaxed. It was nice.
We were also able to celebrate Kalina's First Birthday... (with more cake, of course!)
Kalina was able to enjoy her own cupcake... The rest of us indulged in the most amazing cake... Red Velvet "Nothing Bundt Cake"... mmmm... melts in your mouth.... (thank you to R.&J. H)
I hope you can see Tatum in the background of this one! HA! She was 'helping' Kalina eat her cake!
I don't know who was having more fun! :) T was such a great helper! She was feeding Kalina cake... later, Kalina, being a good little sister, shared her cake with Tatum and fed HER!!!
T was definitely staring at 'her' cake... (the Bundt cake)
