Kaelen learned at the last minute that she needed to use some vacation time before the end of the year. So around noon on Monday (12/26), Kim and Kaelen were on the phone discussing the various flights coming into Portland, Maine later that day.
With her new brother-in-law (Zach) as chauffeur, Kaelen made it to the airport in time to begin a journey that would get her to Portland at 10:30pm.
We decided to keep her visit a secret in order to surprise her grandparents (a.k.a. my parents). Kim and Kaelen even synchronized their footsteps when they got to the house Monday night – just in case my parents might still be awake.... The surprise was intact.
On Tuesday morning, my dad was outside clearing some snow off of the deck. When he came inside, he saw a young lady sitting on his couch. He thought, "She looks a lot like my granddaughter Kaelen." He quickly realized that his eyes weren't fooling him.
Mom was still in bed, so Kaelen went in and surprised her, too.
This year's best gifts came in airplanes!
