Doug, Emily & Isaac

Our Christmas gift from Doug, Emily & Isaac last year was a promise to visit us in Texas! It finally happened the end of April. We were SO happy to have them here, especially Isaac, whom we haven't been able to spend any real time with since he was born a year and a half ago. It was so fun to watch the girls interact with him and to get to know his fun little personality.

Uncle Doug is always a good sport, up for anything the girls want to do - games, art projects, playtime, beauty parlor, dance studio, etc.


We planned a "Moana" movie party for the only full day we were all together.

We feasted on tons of tropical fruit, played a "You're Welcome" guessing game, entertained Isaac with our animal shape shifting, tried our hand at coconut bowling, and built our own boats.




Here are the boat building teams:




 The boat built by team Russ/Kaylee was the only one that held up under the maximum weight we filled it with. Good job!


Such a handsome little guy.


The other Christmas gift Doug and Emily gave us was a Cinderella theater set which came all the way from London! We saved it for their visit so they could construct and act it out together. Bravo!


We're so thankful for wonderful family members who make time to come and see us. :)
