Terri & kids came to visit the day after Christmas. They were excited to escape the cold & snow. Everyone here was excited to meet Memphis! We had beautiful weather everyday they were here! Aunt Nicole came to hang out with us...
Carson & Cade came to play while their older brothers got to go to Magic Mountain... Carson & Liv had a great time together!
Carson was super nice to Jude, too...
It's always fun for me to get some extra G'ma time in...
It was nice to feel the sunshine & play outside...
Jude loved the swing! He did NOT want to get out...at all!
The ATV is always a big hit!
G'pa & Cade played a little game of ping-pong & they let the littles play, too...
G'pa fixed lunch & he made Cade a peanut butter & brownie sandwich...gross!
It is always so nice to hear music in the house. I enjoy playing my piano, but I really love hearing my girls play it because they play so beautifully! Terri took some time to play some Disney tunes while Liv sang along - super cute!
G'pa is
Then he acted out some scripture stories rather dramatically & asked a few questions. Cade is trying not to laugh & Carson is being so reverent & serious...
Olivia wasn't quite sure what to think about her G'pa's behavior...
No question, they all love it when G'pa reads...
They weren't quite done reading, so Cade read a couple of stories to them, too...so cute!
New Years Eve morning we met Rochelle & the older boyz at the movies to see Frozen - such a cute movie!
Aunt Rochelle had fun getting to know Memphis, too...
That afternoon we went ice skating in Placerville. We weren't sure how it would go, but the kids did great & LOVED it!
Even the big kids had a good time & we were all relieved that we remembered how to skate!
Terri is showing off her fancy moves...
G'pa kept Jude & Memphis occupied while we skated...
We skated till dark...
After dinner we celebrated the end of 2013 by writing down our favorite things that happened during the year - then we wrote down some goals for the coming year...
We played some games & Terri was excited for this cash prize, even though she didn't get to keep it...
Festive attire...
Bringing in the new year with a toast of Martinelli's & a lot of noise!
Jude didn't appreciate all the noise...
But G'pa helped him get in the spirit...
Happy New Year to us...Happy New Year to You!
