To Grandmother's House Livy Goes!

So the Friday before Mother's Day - my dad was debating going home to CO for the weekend. I was still procrastinating my Mom's present and then my dad and I thought - why not give her the gift she's been asking for literally since Livy was born - time alone with Liv at Grandma's house. My mom has been dreaming of coming and picking Livy up and taking her home for the week. Since this would only be a 2 and half day trip - I was willing to let my baby go without me. But that doesn't mean I didn't start crying immediately after they drove off - and then on and off for the next couple days...

I was getting a little emotional right before they left and Livy said, "Mommy don't be sad that I'm leaving. It's fine." haha

Funny things that Livy said to my parents while we weren't there...

(on the 8 hour car ride there)

Liv: Why, why, why...?

My dad: (Silent)
Liv: Why, why, why, why... FINE PATA! DON'T TALK TO ME!

My mom: So Livy, do you like your new lanterns? What do you like about them? (And some more questions followed.)
Livy: (Grabs my mom's face with both hands) Nana, no more questions. I'm done talking!

Livy: Nana, I love your house! It's so beautiful!

Here are the pics from the take off:

So excited to leave! She didn't even care that she was abandoning her parents.

All ready to make the drive. We taught her how to use the mini DVD player and packed a little lunch. Of course, all she ate were the Red Vines and Pringles that Pata provided. I'm surprised she didn't puke.

My mom's second dream come true

She looks homeless with the one bow, Mom

She was loving Nana's glasses

Dressed up with curly hair for Sunday

One of the outfits that Nana bought Livy. She also got her those sweet vans that Livy is totally obsessed with. Every time I called to check on her they were buying her a new pair of shoes :)

Side note to this post:

We've had Pata staying with us for a couple days at a time while he's been working here and Livy and Adam LOVE him. Mainly because he ALWAYS has Red Vines to pop in their little mouths right when he gets here. My kids are won over only by food.
