Monday was so much fun! The weather was finally gorgeous and we took advantage of it. It seemed like everyone else did too because the beach was so crowded! I had never seen the beach that crowded since we've lived here. Also, there was a rainbow circling the sun while we were down there. It was beautiful!
We had an awesome time at the beach and stayed there for a good chunk of the day. When we got home, we did a lowcountry boil and celebrated Lauren's upcoming birthday with a donkey cake. (Miniature donkeys are her favorite thing in the whole world.) It was a bittersweet day knowing they were heading home the following morning.
It was so sad to see them go. Everyone was upset and poor little Ellie even broke down and cried. It was the sweetest thing ever. Wyatt had fallen in love with Ellie the first day they were here and kept pinning her against the wall to give her hugs. He was relentless and seemed determined to make her his first little girlfriend! It was cute and Ellie was such a sport for putting up with it! She kept saying, "Oh no! Here we go again!" It was precious!
Callie also fell deeply in love with Ellie. She called her "Anna" the whole time and never left her side. When they left, Callie told me that she wanted Santa Clause to bring her a shirt with a picture of "Anna" on it. She has talked about "Anna" everyday since they left.
Noah was a champ too and Wyatt loved being able to hang out with another little boy. As soon as Wyatt saw Noah he said, "Hi Boy!" and they had fun together all weekend. Both of our kids were so independent and completely denied all parental affection while the big kids were around. Callie even told me, "Away Mommy!" when I would try and kiss on her. Wyatt rarely even got within a 5 foot radius of me. (Visions of things to come I suppose.)
Hopefully, it won't be too long before we get to see them all again! We miss you guys so much already!
