Grammie and Papa came for a pre-Christmas visit last week. We were all so excited to have them come and hang out with us!! We planned Katie's birthday party around them coming. She wanted to have a princess party and she wanted us to all dress up like princesses. Except the boys!
Katie's friends from daycare came and partied with us!
We had a princess cake. For those who don't know, this character is Rapunzel from the new movie Tangled.
Grammie was of course Snow White. Katie couldn't wait to see her costume!!! We played games, ate cake, made tons of candy fall out of a pinata, and did a craft. It was a pretty fun party!
Their visit included a lot of eating. Grams wanted to see Clint's eating pacifier. It is a net that you fill with goodies (in this case banana) and he can chew on the net and get out the banana goo without choking! He loves this thing!! When he eats all the banana he cries in anger until more is given.
Speaking of eating, we didn't fare so bad ourselves. My dad had crab shipped straight from the docks of San Francisco and we dined on it for a few nights.
My mom made us the most amazing, moist, and slightly spicy crab cakes I have ever eaten!!! She also made crab sandwiches. How spoiled are we?!?!?!
During their stay we had an intense snow storm. My dad isn't terribly fond of the snow, but got out there anyway and cleaned off the driveway for us while Rick was at work.
While he shoveled, throwing many a shovel full at Katie and I, we built a snow man. The snow here is usually too dry to build anything, but the first day of the storm the snow was perfect. Now my dad, who as I said dislikes the snow, had to teach us how to build a snowman. Yup we have lived here for two years and have never been able to build one. Now Katie and I are experts!!!It was a pretty fun visit for all! We miss them and can't wait for the next visit!
