My family and I sat down and had dinner last night. When we finished eating, we heard a knock at the front door.
Might not be unusual at your place, but round these parts, this is a rare occurence (no we aren't shut-ins, everyone who visits comes to our back door!)
We answered, and in walked my mum!!!!
All the way from Ballina! 8 hours away!
I had NO idea that she was coming :-O
She came out to help Charlotte celebrate her 7th birthday tomorrow :)
And then Micks family travelled out from Brisbane (4 hours away) to have lunch with us.

Charlotte is DEFINITELY feeling the love.

And so am I *sigh* I love my mum :)

How cool are grandparents??? Wish we had some around full time, but then again, the kids SO appreciate it when we get some quality grandparent time!

I mean SHEESH! When does mum ever sit and do puzzles for hours on end????
So, now off I go, to bask in the mummy love while I can;)

Happy birthday Charlotte! I hope you have a great day!
What an awesome surprise for you! I can relate with grandparents being so far away - the time they do spend together is very special. Hope you guys had a fantastic weekend.
