....The Move.....

Well, it's done...it's finally done!! We got my Grannie all moved to Stillwater!

Drove down to Hugo on the evening of Dec. 23rd & started boxing things up the next day. Spent all day the 24th & 25th packing boxes with a goal to spend the 26th loading the trailers & cleaning her old apartment.

Day One: Breakfast!

Day One: Non-stop rain!

Well, all went pretty good until trailer loading day when things got WAY slowed down as we had run out of space in our 2 trailers & 3 vehicles (Yukon, Pathfinder, & mini van) - I was amazed how much stuff one 79 year old lady could have!! Wow!

Just being cute! (Did I mention Aydan is really into undressing himself??)

They have so much fun playing together! (Most of the time)

The plan was to leave Grannies old place around 1-2 p.m. so we could get home early enough to have Christmas. Ended up leaving around 6:45 then still had to stop to eat supper.

Playing with toys!

The roads in Hugo and about half way along our trip were all clear. Mid-way through we started seeing snow in ditches & in fields, a little further along we began seeing it in yards & on houses, about an hour away from Stillwater we found snow & ice on roads - this turned our 4 hr. trip into about a 5 hour trip. It's crazy pulling trailers on ice!

Watching the loading process....

We made it home around 12:45 & it was time to unload one trailer into the garage so we could return it to the rental place. It took an hour to get this thing backed into the driveway. The road in front of our house & or driveway were just too slick! Luckily the guys took care of this while us girly folk sat in the house. :)

Trying to get the trailer into the driveway.....

Finally around 2 a.m. we got to have Christmas! I'll post pics of that later!

Grannie & Aydan were very worn out!!

On Dec. 31st we got word that Grannies new place here was ready! We went right away and started getting her moved in! So far I think she likes it - it still isn't home to her yet, but hopefully soon she'll meet some neighbors & make some friends!
