October 14, 2012. Jackson, Mississippi. Arrival.

Arriving is always so exciting.  Molly bounces up and down like a rubber ball, telling everyone "Grandma and Grandpa are here", over and over and over again.  There is nothing quite like being greeted by an excited and charming four year old.    We arrived at 12:15, after a four hour drive from Birmingham.  We were glad to be in Jackson with the family, and we were rested to be able to enjoy the family..

With the girls plus Andrew and Christina, the truck was unloaded  quickly, with all the Christmas decorations stacked at the end of the dining room.  After a bite of lunch and some conversation,  Molly and Christina and I opened a box of decorations.  It was all very exciting for her.  Our task is to divide the decorations between Texas and Mississippi.   Soon she caught on to the idea of separating.  At first she wanted all the pretty things in the Mississippi corner.  Soon she caught on and was sending the nicest pieces to Aunt Susie.

When she went to have a nap, Kate and Mary Frances, Christina and I opened four boxes and divided them up.  We left five boxes to open with Molly.  Our task will be accomplished and is also kind of fun.   Definitely, there is nothing better than arriving.
