Family Time

We were so lucky to get a visit from my family! My parents and threee younger sisters, and my niece and nephew came to play for a few days. We had a blast. While they were here we celebrated Bennett's birthday and had cake and ice cream. Boy, did he LOVE that!
Grams and Gramps with the kiddos.


I love this picture... it's one to treasure.



We decided to go with a polk-a-dot theme for his cake and party. The girls were the ones who chose the theme! Benny had a polk-a-dot cake, polk-a-dot garland that I made, and M&Ms because the girls said they looked like polk-a-dots.


I can't tell you how great it was to have room for everyone to play and stay at our house! The backyard was the perfect hang out on a beautiful Sunday evening.










We stayed up way too late chatting and going to a movie- that's probably the reason for the yawn on Tam's face!









My kids have the best grandparents ever. They are so lucky. The girls adore all of their grandparents.





I wish the time didn't go so fast. Our house is feeling a little too empty. We miss you all and can't wait for the next visit- Thanksgiving!!
