In December Russ's younger sister Angela moved to Paris, TN with her family,
which made them our closest relatives.
Earlier this month they were able to make the 10.5 hour drive
to come visit us for a week!
Everyone LOVES Uncle Brandon.
Angela has awesome crafting skills, so she did a bunch of
fun projects with the girls.
(shamrocks (x2), feather pens, marshmallow launchers)
What kid doesn't love to watch crazy gymnastics videos?
One night we all went to the grocery store to buy food for a Mystery Meal.
We separated into adult/child teams and received envelopes with cash and a card that said Side Dish, Main Dish, or Dessert. We shopped for our food, then came home, prepped all our food, and feasted!
 |
| Side Dish - chips and bread (Anne, Elise & Brenna) |
 |
| Main Dish - chicken fajitas (Brandon & Ashlyn) |
 |
| Side Dish - french fries (Angela & Kaylee) |
 |
| Dessert - cinnamon rolls (Russ & McKell) |
One day we went to our tiny Children's Museum.
Cousins!
 |
| And here's Julia bringing about the end of the photo shoot with a quick poke to her sister's eye. |
Other activities during our fun week included: family night, babysitting swaps, movie night (Big Hero 6), dinner at Texas Roadhouse, and lots of games (we played our favorite game, Pandemic, FOUR times after the kids went to bed!)
And here are my three favorite pictures from the week.
Come back again soon, Roses Family!!!
