Grandma and Grandpa

 Last month, my parents came and stayed with us for 10 days.

It was their first time meeting Ruby.

And Lexi was off track.

My kids love my parents and my parents adore my kids.

So they just love being together.

While they were here we went shopping, out to eat, they look the kids outside, we made cookies, my mom and Lexi taught an FHE lesson together about Jonah and the whale, we went to Scheels, both of my girls dolls lost a leg on the same day and my parents bought them new dolls, I took them to see our new house (which I will eventually blog about), we watched movies and played games and my parents babysat while Sean and I went out on a date. And we just enjoy hanging out at home together.

While my parents were here, we all started coming down with colds though.

I think that might be part of the reason I didn't take too many pictures.

I always feel guilty for not taking more pictures, believe it or not.

But I'm always grateful for the pictures that I do take. I cherish them.

Some of the pictures I took were out of focus (darn it!) and half of them are still on my phone.

So I'm only going to share a handful of pictures.

 

I should mention that this was the first time I've ever seen my dad without facial hair.

(Well once when I was in high school,

he surprised us all and shaved it off and then grew it right back.)

I'm still getting used to his naked face.

 



Ruby loved sleeping in my parents arms.

 

Attempting to get a group shot is always comical.

 



I'm so blessed to have two of the absolute most loving people as my parents!

They are such generous and kind heart people.

They also are hilarious. I'm always laughing when we're together.

They truly are some of my very best friends. I talk to them on the phone several times each week.

I absolutely loved having them here and instantly missed them when they left. We all did.
I'm already counting down until we see them again!
