Grandma C's Visit

Ella and Grandma had lots of time to do crafts and other activities.  They made cookies and Elle helped decorate one day, another day they made necklaces with beads.  They were busy busy but had so much fun!
While Grandma was here we went to Burlington Coat Factory to check out the deals.  Amelia and I had fun in the accessory isle
Even though Shaun was busy with his new job, he enjoyed special time with his mama jama.  Shaun loves his mom and you can tell.  We were both so glad she came to spend time with us.

Amelia loved having time with her Grandma C.  She played with Grandma while Ella went to preschool and the two of them had oodles of fun.  Whatever Ella was doing, Amelia wanted to be right there doing it too.
 We made dinner in most nights, but we went out occasionally too.  We had fun eating local Mexican food and visiting the Consignment store!
 Elle got her hair cut while Grandma was here.  Ella did a great job and let our friend give her a cute bob that looks great on her!
 We took one Saturday and went to the National Zoo.  We had a great time seeing all of the animals.  The weather was perfect, and all went well (until the last half hour when of course someone had to melt down- Ella), but it was still a wonderful day!

 The panda was what I wanted to see but he didn't come out while were there.  We got to take a picture with his statue instead.

Grandma got the girls special prizes and then made them blankies for their new "prizes" or dollies.  The girls had fun "helping" make the blankets.  Here they are with their dolls and blankets.

We already miss you Grandma C.  I probably miss her most of all!  She helped clean, cook, take care of the girls, and was a listening ear on long walks (walking off all the bad food we ate).  I really not only appreciated the help, but enjoyed the company!  Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming and making such wonderful memories with all of us!  We love you so much!
