(Kyleigh's POV)

The holiday season at my parents place is always my favourite time of the year, I like to think the kids agree too. We packed up our RV and trailer and travelled to Brindleton Bay to spend the holidays with my parents. We're actually going to be here well into the new year, we being the kids and I, Barrett headed home soon after new years eve to head back into work. The work being done on our house is due to start once the snow has melted, and we're praying work can be done quickly so that we're not away for too long. The kids haven't spent an extended period of time away from home, but they're enjoying the time they get to be at their grandma and grandpa's house. Every winter they always enjoy playing in the snow, making snow angels and having snowball fights. This year Barrett and the older boys were able to catch great fish that are sure to keep us fed over the next few weeks.

Being that we'll be here for an extended period of time, I brought almost a months worth of shelf stable groceries with us in the trailer so that my parents' grocery bill isn't overwhelmed by all of us being here. Thankfully they have access to local farms and farmers markets where its easy to get fresh fruits and vegetables, so we go and get those as and when we need them. For Christmas we had a crown roast as the main star of the show, with loads of different sides to keep everyone full.

My parents really go enjoy having us all live with them during the holiday season, and since we're here for an extended period of time they've gone and rented a house to fit all of us. Initially we were going to split the kids up where the older ones sleep in my old bedroom, and the younger ones are in cribs/pack'n'plays in my parents room and with us in the RV. They really want to soak up this extra time they get with their grandkids and don't mind the extra work, my dad can create his own schedule so they're both excited to be hands on these next few weeks while I parent alone. Our contractors have done all the paperwork and pulled all permits necessary, all we need is good weather.
