Some Family Time






Geoff's family came to visit at the end of last week. Ling, Lucy and Nana came on Wednesday. The kiddos play so well together, we hardly got anything else done! It was nice here most of the time, so outside activities were first on the docket. From riding bikes, to sliding, to swinging, it was all hail the out-of-doors! The kids all went to Gymboree class on Thursday. Landon and Lucy had lots of fun playing "house" and running around together, while Claire learned about music with Nana looking on. That evening, Papa and Hoopy arrived and we all went out to eat at Doe's. This was a treat for everyone! On Friday, we celebrated Claire's birthday. We made a cake and opened presents after lunch. Claire hit the jackpot, from clothes and bows, to Barbie's. In the mean time, the boys all played Wii and some intermittant Guitar Hero for the girls. The kiddos also enjoyed both video games in the evenings, for they were too busy doing everything else during the daylight hours. Saturday morning, the cousins colored eggs, and the men hid eggs for a hunt. My children had already played this game several times in the days leading up to this event, and Lucy had the chance the day before, so the initial excitement had sorta worn off. But they still had fun, all dressed up and hair blowing in the wind, looking for every last egg. Everyone was gone Saturday afternoon, and after tears of sadness, some AWESOME naps were taken by everyone. Overall, a great time with great people!
