Our last stop on our Christmas marathon was a trip to Granny and Grandad's. We played the name game some more and by the end of the day, Maddy was able to identify (receptively by pointing SLP friends) Granny, Grandad, and Grandpa after many repetitions. I love seeing her face light up when she recognizes our family. I can't believe her little mind is able to really "know" a person even though she only sees them a few weeks out of the year. Our time together is so short, but I am so blessed to see her joy in our family with the time we have.
Aunt Mary was nice enough to cuddle up with Maddy and watch "Finding Nemo" for the 3rd time I think also. Andy and Mary had a dancing accident on NYE, which left Mary perched nicely on the sofa on our last day in town.
The girls had fun with Maddy even though she interrupted their card game.

All in all, it was a great trip filled with lots of family and wonderful friends...many moments not even captured by the camera. We are so blessed by everyone we saw this Christmas and can not wait to see you again. We love you and miss you all!
