As far as the holiday season goes, two of my grandkids are staying overnight on Friday, and they're coming to my two games that night. The games are HS rec and my granddaughter Lauren, who is 13 (going on 19) is going to run the clock. She's spending Saturday afternoon shopping with my wife (what else?) and Nick (who is 11) will be coming with me to my morning games on Saturday until my daughter picks him up.
As far as that shopping goes, my wife has said that after she dies, she wants her ashes spread over Nordstrom. That way she knows our two daughters will come visit her every week.
