For 9 days in September Scott's parents visited us. It was lots of fun and we are so glad they game. Grandma came bearing candy and gifts so all our kids got comfortable with her quickly. Nathan warmed right up to Grandpa and wanted him to play cars with him. Melissa pulled out some fuzzy white yarn on Grandma's second day here and wanted a hat made out of it. Since we had a hat loom Grandma agreed and in just one day she had produced this wonderful hat, with a pink pom pom on top.
Grandma and Grandpa picked up a yummy pineapple on one of their grocery store runs (they love grocery shopping!) and Melissa thought we should plant the top of it so another pinapple would grow. Again Grandma abliged and now we have a pinapple top growing. Still no pinapple underneath but it's worth a try to make a 4 year old happy.
Grandma treated us to several home cooked dinners. I enjoyed the break from cooking and the food was mighty tasty. We're glad we have a big enough table to fit us all.
Nathan enjoyed having someone to feed popcorn to. Grandma could hardly chew the pieces he kept putting them in her mouth so quickly.
And of course no visit would be complete without some game playing. Here Grandma and Grandpa are playing Whonu with the older girls but they also played games with the little girls and a fun game of Oh Heck with Scott and I.
Scott and I are both blessed to have parents who love us and our children and have set good examples for us all. My kids get to visit with my parents several times a month since we live in the same city as them but Scott's parents just once a year. We are so glad it worked out for them to visit--Thanks for coming!
