Pumpkin Carving and SURPRISE VISITORS!!!!

It was a very special day that the kids had no clue about. Well, I did end up telling them a visitor was coming so they needed to help me clean and keep it clean. They were so excited and asked me all day long to tell them who it was! No way. It was hard for me to wait...because it was MY PARENTS who drove all day one day, stopped in Utah, and then all day another day up to us! They kept coming!!! They end up in Utah a lot since half of our family is there and a lot of Church events are there and I get a bit disappointed that we live so far away that my kids don't get to see Papa and MerMer and their cousins as often as they like, but this time they came to us. I was so worried about them driving up here (to winter!) but everything melted and stayed away until a couple days after they left. The did get to experience a couple days of freezing rain though. Weee. Here is the arrival!


Pumpkin time! Little Miss Priss didn't want to touch the pumpkin guts because they felt gross. :)

The others dug in.

Good thing Papa got here when he did! I get itchy and rashy if I dig out pumpkin guts. Weird I know...but convenient!! Worked with weeding sometimes too!!

Addie was excited to see them too! Last they held her she was 6 weeks old. 

I love this picture! Everyone looking and smiling. Quite the feat!
It was such a fun surprise for my kids. They love Papa and MerMer and want to go to their house. Me too!! Come and visit again!!! And again...and again... :)
