We just had an amazing visit with my sister, who flew in from Arizona for a few days. Let's just brush over the fact that she actually wanted to visit Maine when it's cold and snowy. What can I say? Clearly too much sun isn't good for the brain...
Despite her peculiar climate preferences, to say that we had a blast would be a definite understatement. She took the kids to Helen's for pie, helped with homework, read them stories, decorated cookies and watched Christmas movies. In fact, Annabel and Thane had such a good time that I'm fairly certain they are plotting Jordan and I's demise so that they can move in with Jon and Kim.
She was a huge help to me as well, laboring to make 17 dozen cookies and a couple batches of bread. Not to mention her willingness to share sage advice on everything from decorating to parenting and health matters to cooking. It was really, REALLY great to have her here.
After a much too short 2-day stay, we slowly made our way down the coastal route to southern Maine. We visited with some of her in-laws, and shopped for antiques and Christmas gifts. We ended in Freeport with Uncle Carl, Aunt Judy and Cousin Liz. Suffice it to say that hilarity and slightly inappropriate behavior ensued.
Thank you for visiting from the very bottom of our hearts!
