All the grandchildren received blankets that Grandma had made over the years. We all teared up thinking of her special hands knitting them with love. She enjoyed knitting and tried to teach us all at one point or another the craft. I was not able to ever pick it up, and wish that I would've spent more time practicing with her.
Noelle and Max jumped into the hot tub and thought it was the coolest thing ever. They were outside, in the snow, in their bathing suits, and weren't even cold! Many requests for large snow chunks were made as they plopped them in the hot water and watched them melt away. Noelle and Max have wanted a hot tub for awhile, but this just solidified their want even more.
We didn't leave until past 10pm. The kids were exhausted, worn out, but begging to stay. Noelle was in the middle of the gift exchange, tuckered out, and taking it all in. The Babcock family is fun and I love seeing how the kids have such a wonderful time around everyone.
We look forward to our next get together!
