Last Days with Papa and Mer Mer


Miss Adaleigh sitting up. Almost 6 months old here!

Zach playing his new favorite game...GO FISH! :) Our kids are getting pretty suspicious of each other and learning how to hide their cards so no one cheats!
 
Like Papa...

 
Like Grandaughter! :)
Zach's favorite thing is to show off his pets and share them. My favorite thing is hauling the mound of "pets" back downstairs with him every day after he gets bored of it and is done playing with them and continually telling him that only 2 pets can come upstairs. 2! Including blankies!

Mom and dad brought a gingerbread house kit that we did Sunday before church. Saturday was the girls "fake birthday" (At show and share, Kate even told her preschool class she got her horse and princess for her fake birthday...ha ha!!)

Hard at work. 

Lookin' good! Gramma's girls. 

The finished product! Pretty nice! All about the kits.

Even Addie likes it!

The last thing we did with Papa and MerMer is our fake Christmas! Addie was excited! :) Then we told her Santa wasn't really coming yet.

My parents surprised me with that cute little marching band decoration. It was one of my favorites growing up! It (loudly) plays Christmas carols on the bells. It is pretty cute! And much louder than I remember! It is now hanging on our tree. We now have a fun, animated, LOUD tree.

Glad I captured this spontaneous dance of joy. :) Jumping up and down singing and smiling and laughing. Pretty cute. And rare.
 

Addie had to join in.

They got them these snuggly animal blankies. They are so soft and cute! Even have curly tails on them! And paw holes to put your hands in and wrap yourself up.

And MerMer gave the give of love and cuteness by making these jammies for the kids! I love them! Addie even got one. Each pair took HOURS to make. Thank you Mer Mer!!!! I love this picture of you 4.

My Christmas Angels. :) 

And Papa earned the money and sacrifice time with his wife as she feverishly sewed into the wee hours of the night. :) Thanks dad. And thanks for getting my MagicJack to work again so I can call my sisters all day long!!! :)

Mer Mer makes all of our stockings and she made Adaleigh's while she was here. A very cute addition to our stocking collection.
Justin, why do you look like you are 14 here?

Your family is too cute too! Looks like you are handling 4 with ease! Some days are crazy around here with my two boys liking to destroy things, but other than that the transition to 4 hasn't been too bad. I don't know if I will ever be ready to make the plunge to 5 though. 4 seems pretty good to me! Sidney and her girly emotions are already getting the best of me at times... :) You're always welcome to stay and visit us in Seattle!
