We love Grandparents!

We love having visitors! We really really love having Grandparents come! Hubby's parents and littlest sister came for a visit last weekend and it was tons of fun. Banana kept them busy the whole time. We attempted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday party...but we pulled up on Saturday afternoon, saw a line out the door and left in a hurry. There was no way I was waiting in line for an hour just to go inside and try and have fun with 5 million kids running around. Lucky for us Banana saw all of the people there and instantly decided she didn't want to go, she wanted to go to Red Robin. There was no arguing with that request. She opened some presents from her grandparents and aunt, and one from us. We weren't surprised one bit that she loved the ones from her grandparents a lot more than the one from us...

She is on a serious Barbie kick right now, and Diamond Castle is her favorite movie. This particular barbie sings the songs from the movie...here's to hoping the batteries wear out sooner rather than later :)
And her "lady in pink" computer they got for her. It is pretty cool. She can't put either of these toys down. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!

Not so patiently waiting for her mac 'n cheese...
Finally food!
Miss Em enjoyed her oh so nutrtitous lunch of fries.
We thought it would be a great idea to have the waiters come to sing to her for her bday...This is what she did the whole time. She wouldn't even look at them she was so embarassed. But she did enjoy the sundae!


After lunch we headed to Galena where they are staying so we could swim and hang out. It is GORGEOUS. I can't wait to go back in the summertime.
Grandpa and Aunt K left on Monday but Grandma is staying until this coming Monday!! We are SUPER excited. It has been so nice to have my MIL here. She is an awesome lady! She's helping with my first sewing project and I am proud to say that I now know how to work my machine :)
Banana's bday is tomorrow, so I'm sure you'll hear from me again soon.

Playing with Aunt K.
I made these cute crayon necklaces with the girls. It was so fun, and so easy!
The valentines cards she made for dad and Grandma. She's only a little excited about it...
