Though Chris' birthday is today, we decided to get a cake while Nana was here so we could celebrate together. When Chris stepped outside to get the mail, we scrambled to light the candles to surprise him. Kate was so excited that she flung open the door and shouted, "Appa! We have a SURPRISE CAKE FOR YOU! COME INSIDE!!" Chris did his best to look surprised anyway.
That night, Chris and I took advantage of Nana being here and went to the movies. Unfortunately, we picked "Journey to the Center of the Earth (in 3D)" (painful), and then tried to wash it away by sneaking into "Mamma Mia!" (more painful), but it was wonderful to go out and not worry about the ticking meter of a babysitter.
We spent the last couple of days of Nana's visit hanging around the pool and showing her the things Kate learned in class.
Since the moment Nana arrived, she played with Kate, fed her, sang and danced with her, and most importantly, indulged Kate's repeated requests to read to her, sometimes reading the same book three or four times in a row. By the last day, Nana had probably read to Kate at least ten times a day. No wonder Kate kept saying, "I love you, Nana." When we dropped Nana off at the airport, Kate was very sad. "I don't want her to go. I'll miss her." Luckily, Tucson isn't tooo far and we will see Nana again very soon.
