As the not so witty title would suggest, tonight is out last night at our beautiful resort here in BC. Sadly, the kids naps didn’t coordinate well with the family’s events, and I ended up missing quite a few things. Dang monitors only reach so far. But I welcomed the rest and the peace, and just hung out in our room with the a/c cranked.
Dekker warmed up finally, towards the end of the evening. The group was down to twelve and he got quite a bit braver and more comfortable. Laela was full of joy and she and her new little girl cousin even shared a smile or two. It was endearing to say the least. The main thing I was part of today was the family pictures we took. It was quite dramatic to get everyone together, and sometimes I actually feel pretty bummed that the drama pretty much always lies with our family. But we got photos with Bradys parents, just our family of four, the whole group of seventeen, and even a picture of grandma and grandpa with just the grandkids. Thats right! Dekker was smiling and beside his cousins, watching uncle Keith blow bubbles. I can’t wait to see how they turn out 🙂 Other than that though, the day was quite low key for me. Our kiddies were spent and napped together for three whole hours!! They never last that long together at home, so it was obviously a big day.
We ended off the day together by having some snacks and watching Frozen, FINALLY! We are among the handful of families in the world who hadn’t seen it yet, but we will now join the enormous demographic of people who bought it. We loved it 🙂 The music was fabulous. A true classic, in my opinion.
Now, everything that can be packed in advance is packed, and the kids are being tucked in. Bradys gonna haul a bunch of the luggage down to the van tonight while I run a tub. Gearing up for a super early morning tomorrow and a looooong day in the car. All four of us are sick, so prayers would be appreciated. Our trip could either be super sleepy, or very tearful. Voting for option A!
