For Christmas Uncle Doug and Aunt Emily, who live in Chicago, gave us a promise to visit us some time this spring. Last weekend they paid up! We spent 4 fabulous days together and were so sad when it had to end.
Playing at the park after school on Friday. |
I left them all to make a quick run to the store, and this is the happy scene I found when I returned. |
We had lots of fun with XBox Kinect games (Ashlyn is one mean boxer!) |
All dressed up for our "Ratatouille" movie party. |
"She likes the soup!" |
As part of the movie party we split into 2 groups and prepared "surprise desserts". Group 1 made Dirt Cups. |
Group 2 got creative with their cinnamon rolls and formed them into "Rat Tails" (I think Rata-tail-e was the official name). |
Doug and Emily are going to have to come back again, if only for Ashlyn's awesome back massages. |
They all spent a long time Sunday afternoon writing Secret Admirer notes to one another and hiding them in mysterious places. |
We had planned to go swimming on Monday (Memorial Day), but rainy weather meant we had to settle for a visit to Chuck E. Cheese instead. |
McKell isn't really old enough for most of the games at Chuck E. Cheese, but she found other interesting things to do while we were there. |
The night before Doug & Emily left Brenna informed me that we now had 2 choices - to visit Doug and Emily lots of times, or to let them live with us. :) We sure love them!
