Grandma Jones and Aunt Megan

We were so lucky to have my mom and sister Megan come out for a visit. I love when family comes to visit. There are only 2 negatives of having family visit 1) saying good-bye 2) makes me realize how much I miss them and how nice it would be to live closer to them.

The kids of course loved having Aunt Megan here. When we picked Grandma and Aunt Megan up from the airport they went running to Megan first (sorry mom). Megan was great at keeping the kids happy while Grandma and I did other things. Aunt Megan did a lot of reading while she was here, the kids loved it.

Unfortunately, the weather was not very nice during their visit. We were able to go to the library to make log cabins out of frosting and pretzels in celebration of Lincoln's birthday.

While Grandma was here she offered to paint our bedroom (one of many projects we have been wanting to get done). She did a fabulous job and the room looks so much better.

Here is the before picture. It really doesn't do it justice in terms of the trim paint on the wall and floor and the wall paint on the ceiling.


Grandma hard at work.I will post an after picture in a couple of days. Once I get new batteries in the camera and the computer back.

While Grandma was painting our bedroom and Megan was watching the kids I was able to make some meals and freeze them. I made 14 meals. They will be soooo nice to have especially since Chase can't be awake and happy with out being rocked and held.

While they were here we got a big snowfall. Ken took the kids out to take advantage of the perfect snowman weather. Jordan is not pictured because just before this picture I was standing in the kitchen when I hear some running toward the house saying Mom! Mom! I run to the door to open the door and there is Jordan on the walkway "Mom, I had to go to the bathroom but I didn't make it and now its in my boots."
