We thought this all out in advanced and knew there was no way we could get all the presents back -- especially including the two awesome, 6-foot-tall, tee-pees with matching lounge chairs (yes, you read that right) that Nanny got X and A for Christmas. Those four very cool, but bulky gifts, plus the bounty of other gifts from Kiki's Christmas visit and Papa and Grandma's Christmas visit just would not fit in our SUV for a trip back home. So here was the plan...
Jack drove Papa's mini-van (that is not so mini) to Nacogdoches and Nanny's house. He loaded it all up including the kids and then drove back to the farm (with Melinda following right behind in our SUV). We left the SUV at the farm and will return for it January 6th.
After getting some neat games from Tommy when we drove up (the kids did not even get out of their car seats) and after Melinda jumped into the van, our family drove back home.
We also intend to use the van on Thursday (while we have it) to pick up a chest of drawers for X (that we loaned Melinda's cousin Tiffany years ago) and to take a crib back to Nanny's (that we borrowed from Kiki for foster care). We will then return it and get our beloved SUV back,
We had a great time, but are ready to sleep in our own beds. The kids are also ready to actually get to play with the cool presents that they have been getting the last few days.
Yea, Christmas Time!
