Trip to Grandma's

We spent a couple days up with Grandma Lee and Grandpa JA. They moved back up near to Washington D.C. We played at the park near their house on Friday. Saturday morning we went up and met Kara at a swap at a nearby Stake Center. We found some good stuff. Then we headed into the Smithsonian of American History. We got to see the First Lady Dresses and the Abraham Lincoln exhibit. They also had a few cool kid exhibits to keep the little people happy. It was a great time! Thanks guys, we hope to see you soon.

Bows!

I spent a fun craft night finishing up some bows and making a bow board to put them on. When the girls woke up and saw them all up there they couldn't resist. Please forgive my tackiness in allowing my children to where Christmas pajamas in May.

Princess Party

Eliza got invited to her friend's princess birthday party. All day she kept asking if it was time to get dressed up. So finally two hours before we started She brought home some sticker earrings and shared with everyone, including Justin. He looked awesome.

Boston

We got to spend five fabulous days in Boston with my parents and sister Katie. It was amazing. We did the freedom trail, went on the duck tours, saw a Celtics game, did a tour of Fenway Park, saw Harvard, visited Concord and spent great time with Papa, Lulu, and Aunt Kate. We also saw the ducks in the Public Gardens from the book "Make Way For Ducklings," and went to the Boston Children's Museum; and somehow all are pictures are from those two locations, except for the one with the cute new umbrellas (thanks Grandma and Grandpa) I think Katie and my Mom took a lot more we will have to get. We loved Boston. It was a beautiful city and we loved the public transport. Thanks so much Mom and Dad for the great trip! I highly recommend this trip to everyone.

Busch Gardens

While my Uncle Kelly and Aunt Liz were here they took us to Busch Gardens. It was so much fun!! They are great. We wish they could visit more often!! They were so nice to our girls and so fun to hang out and talk with. Thanks again guys!
