We were very lucky to have our holiday continue with some special visitors in our first week of 2012. Gran and Grandpa were on their way back to Halifax and spent some extra time in Ottawa hanging out and enjoying an encore to all of our holiday festivities. We all enjoy having them here to visit, most notably Isabelle, who was beyond desperate to join them in their downstairs bed if she awoke in the middle of the night. Gran was fine with this idea, Grandpa a little less enthused, but Isabelle was relentless, asking for the privilege every night they were here. Gran and Grandpa got to take in Isabelle and Oliver's first skating lesson, enjoyed a pizza and movie night screening of Cars (Oliver's pick, naturally) and an awesome afternoon trip to the Museum of Nature. Mommy and Daddy were also lucky enough to get an evening out together, a real rarity! Despite the protests of two little kids that adore them, Gran and Grandpa eventually had to head home, the impact of which was only diminished by the promise that Gran would be back in time for Oliver's birthday next month. We had a great visit and thankfully we are already looking forward to the next one!
