grandma & grandpa G come to visit

We were spoiled last weekend with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa G – all the way from Georgia!

This was the first visit of theirs where Nate was old enough to know exactly who was coming and was beyond excited for their arrival [and was beyond sad when they left.]

We lucked out with PERFECT weather while they were here.  We had a little winter heat wave come our way – putting us around 73 degrees during the day.  Like I said, perfect.  And it was even better for Grandma and Grandpa G because they came from a city covered in sheets of ice so this was a nice treat!

During the days, we played outside alot.  We went on walks & played at the park.  Wes got to spend a little quality time with just his dad [which i know he always loves].  Robert helped Wes with a few things around our house and I put Doreen to work helping me with a big client work dinner stuffing gift bags for all of their employees!  Nate showed Grandma all of his toys and loved having endless attention.  So did Ryan.  Like I said, we’re a little spoiled when they come.

 

On Saturday night, we got a babysitter and went to a Mexican Restaurant – Lindo Michoacán – for dinner and then took Robert & Doreen to see the Lion King at Mandalay Bay.  Wes and I have seen it before and loved it so we thought we’d take Robert & Doreen!

   

On the other nights, Robert & Doreen brought a new game called Qwirkle.  Lets just say I’m addicted to that game!  As much as I loved playing with Doreen, I’m excited to try a round without her so I even have a chance of winning.  She won EVERY game [and we played a lot of them].  Thanks for introducing it to us!

We wish we saw Grandma & Grandpa G more often.  They are always so fun to have come visit and they are so helpful while they are here.  We try to give them a little break but they insist on helping us!  We’ll see you in June at the lake!
