WE LOVE VISITORS

Sterling was out of town this past weekend. But we were lucky enough to have grandma Hawkins, my sister Jen, and my niece Eliza come and visit. Grandma Hawkins came in on Wednesday and Jen and Eliza got here on Thursday evening. We had the best time.

We started things out right by putting on mustaches. (They're all the rage right now.) The boys loved them. My mom will kill me when she sees this picture but I couldn't resist! Plus, its not like I look amazing with a towel on head.



We spent a lot of time out and about, but also were home a lot. The boys loved spending so much time with family. Book reading and game playing was a daily occurrence around here.

Eliza was so much fun with the kids. She came up with lots of fun new games to play with the boys. They had a blast with her. She was very patient and super helpful. Miss you, Eliza!

Jen in my oldest sister. There are ten years between us and we are amazing friends. I use to fly out and see her all the time when her kids were young. It's fun to have her out here with me and the boys. She makes everything fun. Love you Jen!
 

We got a good little blizzard one day. We made sure we got this California girl out in the snow with the boys.

More reading with Eliza.

Grandma got lots of snuggle time with this little cub.

Watching a show with aunt Jen.

Pajama snuggle time.

Ready for church. Eliza let me do her hair for her everyday. I was in heaven. In return she taught me the ways of nail stickers and One Direction. Girls are so fun!

The last morning with all of us together. We went to church and then dropped Jen and Eliza off at the airport. My mom left the next morning. Luckily Sterling got home that night to cheer us all up.
Thanks for coming to see us Grandma, Jen, and Eliza! Thanks for all your help and for being so sweet with my wild boys!
