Gramma and Papa Al's Visit

So I'm backtracking here.

Christmas posts: done.

Baby's 7 month post: done.

Still to come:

Lots from December:

Kindermusik Christmas gathering, Zoo Lights with the Egglestons, lots of Randomness.

And then there was the wedding that I second shot with my very talented friend Allison in mid-December.

Then the babies turned 8 months! Oh my!

And I just got home from another wedding with Allison. Lot's of wonderfulness to process!

But this one is all about Gramma and Papa Al. They came to visit at the beginning of December. You may remember a picture or two (and story) that I posted here. Our house was, well, in complete upheaval. A ginormous hole in the middle of our unfinished kitchen. Dust everywhere. Wait, there's still dust everywhere!

So instead of hanging around here and playing, we went to the Zoo Lights, our neighborhood tree lighting, church, out to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and to Kindermusik. It was a super fun 3 days and a tremendous break from being at home!

We started at the Zoo Lights.

Waiting in a very long line for the train:

Gramma and Anne Perry

Daddy and Audre Kate

 

Of course Addie loved seeing the lights!

Want to see her favorite Zoo Lights? Check out her face here with Papa Al!

All because she was looking at this:

You might not be able to see it, but these frogs were jumping into a tree! Every time one would jump, she would yell DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!?!?

Oh how I love the uninhibited enthusiasm of a two year old!

We also took Gramma and Papa Al to Addie's last Kindermusik class.

Addie was super excited to have her baby sisters there...

but even more excited to have someone to play with just her!

She jumped right in and helped Ms. Sarah read the story.

One of Addie's favorite things is to dance with the scarves.

And this right here shows the difference between little girls and little boys: our sweet friend Thomas, who looks more like a bandit here!

This is Thomas leaning against his Mama's tummy. His new baby sister is planned to arrive a week from yesterday!

And this is Thomas hugging Addie. Sweet friends!

 Addie "dusting" with her duster. I wonder if we could transfer this to home!

Thank you Gramma and Papa Al for a fun-filled weekend!

We look forward to you coming back soon, hopefully to a finished kitchen!
