A visit from Grandma Idaho

It has been the usual whirlwind o' fun around the Christensen household. We're just catching up on some of the great things that happened in February.

Just before Valentine's Day we received a special visit from my Mom, "Grandma Idaho." Maddie invented the name when she was 3 and it has stuck like glue. In fact, Mom even used it as part of her new blog. Grandma came out to visit the girls and, among other things, take them to a play at Charlotte's Children's Theater. They saw Big Friendly Giant and had a blast. We also celebrated Maddie's birthday a bit early and Grandma took us to P.F. Chang's.

Beyond fun and games, one thing I love about my mom is her work ethic. She led the charge on many industrious projects around the house in her short visit. Thank you. She painted the front room, painted the deck, and spoiled the girls to name just a few.

In other news, right before Grandma's visit we got our second snow of the year. Hooray. Gone by sundown and up into the 50s the next week. Hooray.
