A Family Visit - Part 2

Ok - blogger seems to be working again. So we left off with...

...making pizza for dinner. It was fantabulous!

Sunday morning was nice and relaxing. We hung out in our pj's, played, and made an egg bake (thanks again for making breakfast Carrie & Nana!).

Nana was hiding under Evelyn's blankie...

...Evelyn got a kick out of it!

I LOVE this picture! Carrie & Ellie laughing together.

Evelyn loves her auntie!

Us girls spent some time hanging out in the basement studio through out the weekend. We went through my old (old, old) pottery. Betty and Carrie were angels and took a big box of it home with them. We did some jewelry repairs. And made Evelyn a new pair of earrings (per Mike's request : ) Can you see her cute little flower hoops?

One last cuddle before it's time to leave Sunday afternoon.

Packed in and ready to go!

Bye Nana!

One last good-bye...

And they're off.

It's always a little heart breaking to watch our company drive away. Walking into the house just isn't the same after they're gone. It's TOO quiet! We had such a great weekend and made lots of memories. We will definitely look forward to next time!

A Family Visit - Part One

We had such a great weekend! The Haas' (Mike's sister's family) and Betty (Mike's mom) came to visit. They arrived Friday evening - to freshly baked cookies, no less - and after a quick tour of the house, were settled in for a weekend of fun.

Evelyn woke up to a house full of cousins, her Nana, 'Auntie', and Uncle Curt. She was SO happy to see them! They quickly got reacquainted with a few games of peek-a-boo. Notice Amos' progression from the floor and up to where all the action is. He's such a stinker! 

Carrie and the girls went through their old toys and brought some for Evelyn. She LOVES the alphabet bus! Ellie was showing her how to use it.

Mike made Saturday Morning Pancakes - our tradition for company.

Curt crawled into the kiddo's hide-out - cupboard under the stairs.

Nana let Ev empty out her cosmetics bag...

I have no idea how they got Amos in there with them!?

Chillin out Saturday evening after a surprisingly busy day. It was gorgeous out so we walked to the town square and went to some of the cute local shops, toured the bank, took a driving tour of Chariton, & played at the fun park down the street. We were all pooped out but it was worth it!

Nana with her oldest & youngest grandkids - Christopher who is 13 and Ev who is 14 months. Such a sweet picture.

Auntie Carrie & the girls made Ev this Sesame blankie for Christmas. It is Evelyn's favorite!

We made homemade pizza for dinner. Yum-nummy!
