Twas the Night before Grandma Left and the Kids got SPOILED!!

It started out as a normal Sabbath.  We went to church, had lunch and nap time, went on our family walk, had dinner, etc. Then we tried really hard to get a good family picture with grandma in it, and just about all of them has at least one person doing something weird... and then.... grandma threw a PARTY!   The kids were beyond excited and grandma went way overboard and it was fun to see her spoil the kids.  She had them playing "don't eat Pete", "Pin the nose on grandma", punch ball balloons, and some other games.  Then she got out a huge bag of present for each of the kids and had them take turns opening them.  I had way too many pictures and still probably posted too many of them, but oh well.  WE had a great time with my mom here and miss her a lot.  It is hard living so far away from family and knowing you probably won't see them again for another 2 years!  We sure would love to live closer.  The kids always have a great time when someone other than mom and dad are giving them their undivided attention-  I just wish they could have it more often.  We shall see where we end up next year I guess :)
