Mammy--Grandpop's visit

Mammy and Grandpop were brave enough to come stay with us for a few days. We had such a great time with them. They arrived Sunday night and we stayed up and talked for a while. The boys had things they wanted to show them and Makai was eager to show off his new skill. Yes, this is him at the top of the stairs. He showed off how he can come down on his own. He's just one of the guys now! Monday we decided to explore down town. It was fun, but a little cold.

Trying to get warm I suggested we go into one of the stores and we found some super fun stuff. My dad bought a few of them just to be nice. He got the boys an owl ornament which is the new favorite. He bought some Artichoke soup which I wanted to try and was pretty tasty and this was popcorn still on the cob. We were all excited to see the popcorn cob after we cooked it. I'll also say the popcorn was great too...very fresh tasting.Tuesday we spent the morning taking a walk and then headed to the park at the boys school. We decided to come home when Trey and Makai had purple hands(I wish I was kidding)! Poor Grampop had to carry Makai home because at that point he was done with his stroller. He put him to sleep, but I think he might have thrown his back out in the process. For the record however, it was Makai's best nap...maybe ever!! Then we went to see Tangled which we all LOVED. That night they were so kind as to watch the boys so we could do some last minute Christmas shopping. While we were out Mammy decided to test Makai's IQ. From what I hear he passed.Wednesday was their last day here and the boys told us we needed to take them somewhere awesome. We decided to head up to the mountains to find some snow. It was actually warmer in the snow than in the city(not that it was bask in the sun in your flip flops warm or anything, but it wasn't bad).Trey decided he wanted to make a snowman, and as he's never made one before I was a sport about it. Thankfully, he was easily pleased.

Snow FIGHT!!

Watch out...Kory was armed big time!!Even Grandpop got in on the action...thankfully he decided to be nice. Then Tyler and Kyle decided they wanted to build a snowman. My mom ordered me to take her gloves. Once I did, it was a lot more fun. Let that be a lesson to us all...our mothers are wise! Then Kory and I made another snowman...oh wait correction...we made a snow woman!! He gave her a flower and everything.

On the way home I said to Monty, I actually had a lot of fun building snowmen with the boys. He laughed and said, "Yeah, lots of fun." Poor guy...he had Makai the whole time. That wouldn't have been so fun. Keeping that boy off the cold ground was the real work. Thanks honey!

We had a fun evening at home with hot chocolate and french bread and woke up early to take them to the airport. The few days they were here went so fast. We enjoyed them so much. Thanks again for the visit and being so easy to please. We love you.
