You're My Forever: A Visit to Mimi's House

On the morning of January 11, 2013, we got up and left the hotel by 9 am...and it was a pretty successful morning. Charlotte has a "thing" right now where she does not like to get ready, dressed, or have her hair done. Hates it. But she threw minimal fits this particular morning which puts everyone in a MUCH better mood.

We got to Mimi's house in Surfside Beach a bit after 11. She was ready and waiting (and had apparently gotten her days mixed up. She thought that the day before was actually Friday and the day we were coming.) We had prepared Charlotte to see "Dadda's Mimi" (she calls her Aunt Anne Marie "Meemee". So she is "Aunt Meemee" or "Momma's Meemee".)

Charlotte went right to Mimi. She was so excited that we were going to open presents with Mimi...since we weren't able to be back in SC during the month of December.

Charlotte was so proud of the calendar Momma had made for Mimi. She loved looking at the pictures in it.

Sawyer was so happy to be hanging out and rolling around on a blanket instead of sitting in his carseat.

Charlotte LOVED the pictures and took so much pride in pointing out the people she knew.

Charlotte and Sawyer LOVED their presents from Mimi. They got so many fabulous treasures... clothes, rubber ducks, shoes, a bible...

Love this picture!

Sawyer was in great spirits.

We got loaded back up in the car and headed out to lunch. We took Mimi out. I know that she loves to get out of the house and the very last thing I wanted her to do was have to make us a meal. (She always makes a delicious 8 course meal.) We took her to Texas Roadhouse. Charlotte loved it...and the cinnamon/sugar butter. Big fan!!!

We then headed back to her house to hang out.

This was not even planned!!! Hilarious.

We were so thankful Gigi was able to come with us to SC. Without her we couldn't have made this trip.

Charlotte was too funny with Mimi. At the restaurant, she helped her walk in and out of the restaurant. She was even helping her with her cane. When we got back to the house, Charlotte was out on the porch yelling "Dadda's Mimi!!"
