~ When Cousins Come To Visit ~

My sister, Kerri, and her four kids decided to spend their fall break up here in Utah. 
They spent their time cooking, cleaning, and watching my kids while I recovered from having Beck.
 I didn't ask her to help, in fact I didn't even realize how much I needed the help. I can't put into words just how grateful I am that she came. It gave me time to just relax and enjoy my new baby and their company. 
It was actually pretty difficult to watch her leave, but I think I have been surviving pretty well.

 I really love and miss my family. 
Thank goodness I have another sister who lives close so I don't get too homesick. 


Here are some pictures of the fun we had while they were here. 
On the first day they were here it snowed! It wasn't much, but just enough to make these California kids happy.


We made sure to fit in some time for shopping. The girls went to the grocery store to pick out some goodies for lunch and snacks, and then we went to the church bookstore and the outlet mall. 


Logan and Lilly are best friends and only six weeks apart. They came with Kerri and I Christmas shopping because they are awesome at keeping the presents a secret.


Logan also made sure to have lots of cuddles with his new cousin, Beck. He was not happy when Kerri took Beck back :)


On the final night they were here, we headed to the Riverwoods to go play at the arcade. We had no idea it was going to be filled with Christmas lights.


and bonus Santa was there!!



Hannah loved having her cousins here especially Ashlyn because she loved playing Frozen with Hannah.

  February was a big game month for our family. Lilly Belle and I both discovered a love for board games and that left us wanting to play on...
