Grandma Time

We were so lucky to have my mom come visit for a week. The only bad part about her coming is that the house seems twice as lonely when she leaves!!!  We had so much fun talking, playing games, crafting, playing with the kiddos, making treats and mostly doing a lot of shopping (yes, I just said it was fun shopping. Don't worry, I still don't love shopping but it was fun with my mom!)  We made two crafts for my girls, super easy and adorable hair bows:

and felt Mr and Mrs Potato Head dolls:

 

These were extra fun because I got to draw all of the templates we used to cut it out of felt. I haven't drawn anything in years so it was fun to try it again, even with my lack of artistic ability! And I love how they turned out so I hope my girls love playing with them. I will definitely be adding to this collection down the road! We also started two more crafts that will have to be finished later. We also had an early birthday party for Kaylee so that Mom could be here to celebrate her 2nd birthday. We didn't do anything big, just had a cake and gave her one of her presents from Grandma early- a new trike!  

 

   She is loving it and is slowly getting the hang of working the pedals. In the meantime, we figured out a solution for letting her ride her bike until she can zoom around on her own :)

Mom even let us go on a date, gave me time to go to the temple (a rarity these days), and spoiled all of us like crazy. There is seriously nobody Kaylee loves more than Grandma.  They are best buddies and Kaylee cried all the way home when we dropped Grandma off at the airport. Thanks Mom for another fantastic visit! Now I'm starting the countdown for our next adventure- our summer trip to Utah!
