Family Visit

Some of our family came to visit the week after Thanksgiving. Jeff's sister Karen and her husband and kids, Rhett, Sage, Henry and Wilford got in to town first. It is so nice to see family since we don't get to very often and the kids really had a blast playing with their cousins. They keep asking if we can go to their house. Jeff's mom and dad came into town a few days later to see us all and meet baby Jacob before they leave on a mission to Arizona where they will be working on the Navajo Indian reservation. We are so excited for them.

We went to the Natural History Museum and the kids really loved it, especially Michael. There is so much to see there that it is impossible to see it all in one day...or even a week. But we hit the highlights. I need to take Michael back by himself some time because he was the most fascinated by everything. He loved all the animals and for some reason he kept calling all the animals that looked like a deer or gazelle a "snow harnbark". I have no idea where he got that, but I must have told him the name of some animal and that's what he thought I said. It was so cute and funny.

The kids had to see Gum Gum (if you've seen Night at the Museum you'll get that).

The dinosaur in the entrance was a big hit as well.

Here are the cousins. Karen and Rhett's kids are so cute and I missed them all when they left.

Crazy kids!!!

Aunt Karen was a big hit with Annie. She gave her a candy princess wand and then Annie was her best friend. :)
