Mimi & Grandpa Came!

What a blessing!  Mimi and Grandpa ventured the 16 hours from Kansas out to see us...and it couldn't have been a better trip!  Mimi was here for the whole week and Grandpa came for the last 4 days. We played and played and talked and talked.  We made bread, read books, raced cars and did puzzles.  We went to the Arcade and to see Frozen and smiled and laughed in between.  
We can't thank you guys enough for coming out here! 
We LOVE you both!
Oh and Mimi offered to do some of the housework.  What a treat!  
Can you see how fast she irons?  Don't mess with Mimi and a hot iron.  She will make it/you flat!
One of the many creations by Owen.  I don't think he put this away all week.  He wanted to show them what he could create with his toys! -It's a car garage and an airplane hanger. :)

 ...books upon books upon books to be read...
 We love that this game spans age groups.  Camp is a good board game to have around.  They loved when a question actually tricked Grandpa!
 Snuggle time before bed!

 Mimi and Grandpa took Owen and Katie each on their own dates.  It is hard to put into words how excited they were...they were beyond thrilled!  They each got lunch, a gift from the toy store and lots of time being loved on. I don't have a photo from Katie's date since they picked her up early from school.  But if this gives you a snapshot of her thoughts...she was barely able to concentrate on her school work she was so excited.  
They both were happy-look at that smile on Owen's face!
 Mimi and Grandpa brought "Snaps"!

 SNAP and POP!



 My mom and I made some yummy bread.  Mom, you did great! So glad we could bake together!
 Look at that perfect loaf!
 This simple act brought back so many memories.  Jessa, (my sister) and I used to style my dads hair when we were little girls...and low and behold Katie on her own started to comb my dads hair and style it while he watched some of the Olympics.  :)  
 Grandkids, they wear you out!
