Back in September, I was feeling not having seen our MN family in a while, and I knew Calloway's 1st birthday was coming. On a whim, I found cheap flights for his bday weekend and booked them. Then we did everything in our power to stay healthy, including crossing our fingers and toes, to make sure the trip actually happened. I took the first personal day I've taken since May 2019 (although I worked up until the minute we got on the plane ... COVID - ugh), and we spent the best weekend Up North celebrating! I can't choose photos, so this is all of them!
All masked up and ready to fly. The non-existent airport lines were a bonus!
When we got to MN, G & G picked us up while Melissa, Adam and Cal were at 1-year-old pics. The girls immediately went for the snow!
Emma and Grandpa fought with the baby gate on multiple occassions!
So excited to see Cal!
The girls always cook at Auntie's, so Friday night they made chex mix and on Saturday they prepped for Sunday's brunch.
Saturday morning they were back in the snow!
Steve and Adam went for a suitcase of White Castles and introduced Sara to this family tradition. She wasn't a huge fan, which is probably just fine.
The girls missed Jim but got plenty of snuggles from Expo!
Cal had a lumberjack party and we all had lots of photo booth fun!
While Cal napped, we headed back outside to build a snowman - the girls' request. It ended up being taller than Grandpa!
Cal woke up in time to enjoy watching the process!
Cal sort of got the hang of opening presents...
And totally got the hang of eating brisket and cake (and sharing with his pup)!
Everyone got stocking caps as party favors!
Grandma and her girls (and Expo) <3
I was so thankful for even a quick weekend with this guy!
G & G with their grandkids <3
Walking through the airport with these girls cracked me up. They kept their hats on for the entire trip, including the drive home. They reminded me of Kevin McAlister!
Jim stayed at our neighbor's house (who also happens to be one of my coaches) and he had the BEST time with his new human and dog friends. He came home and passed out and hasn't moved much since!
It was a great weekend for everyone ... one of the best of 2020!
