Chuck’s mom’s parents have recently moved from their home in Iowa where they lived for 60 years to an assisted living home in Austin, Minnesota. Chuck’s Aunt and Uncle live in Austin, too. So this year, on Christmas Eve, we made the drive to Austin to spend time with Chuck’s grandparents. It was a much shorter drive than the trip to Iowa. 
Maddie had a great time playing with her cousin, Amira. They had a great time snuggling on the chair together watching “The Wizard of Oz”.
We had a great time being able to hang out with Chuck’s family and be able to go for just a couple hours. I know we will make the trip much more often and we are looking forward to seeing the grandparents more than once or twice a year!
