Great-Grandma's House

Giving Annika a hug! 

Great-Aunt Lydia stealing a hug from me, but I liked it! 

Giving my great-grandmother a hug...

and a kiss. 

Eating a cookie with my new chopsticks. 

My mommy loved how Jay uses his training chopsticks and Grandpa bought me a pair when we were in Chicago. 

The drive from Jay's house was arduous but when we finally got to the twin cities area it was all worth it. It felt really good to be around family and familiar things. I was so happy to see my cousin once-removed, Annika, that I just couldn't wait to give her a hug. Great-Grandma was so excited to see us that she invited us over for dinner. It was really great to see her. Then we were off to Grandma and Grandpa's house! It had been a long long drive and it felt so good to relax, stretch our legs and get some rest. Now is when the fun really begins!
