Visitors and Fun!

We had so much fun having Grandma R and Aunt LaNita's family come to visit for Evelyn's baptism!  The kids loved having fun things to do with Grandma.  Here are Lizzie and Carson playing Hi-Ho Cherry-O with her!  They got this game from Aunt Carmen this past Christmas and loved teaching Grandma how to play!

It was truly a treat to be able to visit with Uncle Josh!  He was home from Afghanistan for his 1 month leave at the beginning of the year.  It was no small trick for him to be the jungle gym for all four kids at once, but they adored that he did it! 

Grandma gave Evelyn a craft set to paint her own sun catchers.  Evelyn loves crafts!

She chose to paint at least some of the sun catchers while her cousin was in town and it was nice to see all three older kids working together making their crafts!




That night, after the paint got all cleaned up, the dads watched the kids while we women - Mom, LaNita and myself - decorated some cookie shields with purple icing, sprinkles, and CTR (Choose The Right) symbols.  We made these to be part of the treat after Evelyn's baptism the next day. It was fun to work together and chat with my mom and sister!
