Mother's Day and Grandpa's Birthday

We had a great weekend up at Grandma and Grandpa Parmentar's house.  We just hung out, played, and visited both Saturday and Sunday.  The girls got so much attention while we were there, they were loving it! This was our first trip since M and L have been out of their cribs, so I was wondering how they would do.  Grandma had two twin beds set up in the guest room, and the girls crawled right in them and went to sleep the first night.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Saturday night before M and L went to bed, we had cake and ice cream and sang "Happy Birthday" for Grandpa's big day.  As soon as the girls spotted the cake, they were ready to eat.  So Grandma lit the candles while M and L sat on Grandpa's lap.  When the song ended Maddie yelled, "Again!", so we sang again.  Sunday morning we had a nice brunch .  M and L helped Grandma open her Mother's Day gift, and I tried to get some family photos.  We were just too far past nap time to get anything very good- Maddie was screaming, and Lena had her finger jammed up her nose and refused to take it out.  So we packed up the van, and we headed home.  Uncle Zach came to our house to hang out for one more day before leaving for D.C.  M and L call him Yack.  Every day it is getting closer to Zach.  In fact, I think Maddie might have it right now.
