We are so happy that Uncle Guy, Aunt Nelda, Mia and Blayke arrived today to spend the weekend with us.

Blayke (3), Jocelyn (3), Madison (4), and Mia (6)

We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas with them this weekend.

Today we celebrated Mia's birthday! She turned 6 at the beginning of the month.

Madison helped pick out a lot of ballerina stuff for Mia.

Uncle Clay tried to find Blayke some "boy toys" to play with, but we definitely don't have many of them in our house. Blayke enjoyed playing the violin and instruments though.

Clay had asked his medical tech at work if she would be willing to babysit the kids for us tonight so that the adults could go out to dinner. She agreed to watch all 4 kids, so we headed to a local Italian restaurant for an adult dinner. We had a great time talking and eating. What a nice treat!

While we were out, Miss Jamie French braided Jocelyn's hair. She loved it!

We surprised the kids by bringing back a variety of Mexican pastries to try.

It was so much fun to sit around the table together and try new things. Unfortunately, the Mexican pastries look much better than they taste. :(

The big girls decided to get dressed in their new matching ballerina pajamas that Mia got for her birthday.

They LOVE each other soooooooo much!

Madison told Mia that she is her "best friend."

All of the kids decided it would be FUN to sleep together in the playroom. The girls are all in butterfly sleeping bags/blow-up beds and Blayke is in a pop-up tent. We will see how much sleep they get.
