Hannah and Emma came to visit. We are always so excited to have them come stay with us. The weekend before Christmas my parents had a big Christmas dinner. As a surprise gift to my mom I arranged for Hanna and Emma to come stay the weekend. So the boys and I drove up to Anthem to meet them and their mom. We were all ready for a FUN filled weekend. The kids did some bike and scooter riding, playing at the park, running, and or course lots and lots of giggles.
We had dinner at one of our favorite pizza places.
Then we headed over to our local mall where they had free carriage rides and free snow. Gavin was pretty lucky and got to ride up front with the driver. The kids were so good waiting in line for the carriage ride. They played countless games of paper rock scissors and of course there was lots and lots of giggles.
There was "snow" falling from the sky in the kid play area. Even though it was just tiny bubles the kids still had a blast. I love the picture of Emma trying to catch it in her mouth. She was a bit surprised by the taste.

On Saturday night Matt, Josefina (bro and his wife), and I went and pick a couple of super cute church outfits out for the girls. It was SO fun shopping for them. I can kick my self for not getting a picture. So right here imagine these darling girls dresses up in Sunday best. They loved their clothes so much they didn't want to change after church. Then later that night Emma wanted to sleep in her clothes. My mom told me that she woke up on Monday morning and wore them until they go too dirty.

Dinner was fun fun fun at Grandma and Grandpa's fun. It started out with the most delicious prime rib cooked to perfection. After dinner there was wrestling with Uncle Tim and Aunt Tami. They know how to kick rear. Check out Austin's outfit/dress. He decided he would take up a little art while he was outside. He prefers "natural" art supplies. The kind that don't smell to good and make every parent gross out. If you are not pickin' up what I am puttin' down I am refering to poop art. He finger painted an original piece of art all over the porch. Yuck!

We love having Hannah and Emma over for a visit. It is so bitter sweet.

I love having my nieces and nephews over too. It seems too far and few between but, maybe that's what makes me savor it so much. I am glad you guys had a great Christmas season.
You are a great Aunt for them to have AND a great sister! :) So glad your Christmas was merry!
How fun! It must be nice to have cousins for your kids to play with. My kids only have one and he's only two years old. It looks like you all had a great time together and a fun time giggling! Cute pictures! :)
