The Little's and Uncle Jeremy Come To Visit

My sister, her kids, and my brother came to visit over their Spring Break. We love hosting people at our house and were so glad they chose Boise for their destination. We had a great time over the fast week that they were here.

Sunday-March 30- We spent the day bumming around the house

Monday March 31-We hung out around the house until Papa and Grandma made their way back from McCall. Once they got back to town, they headed over for some scrumptious tacos by Blake

The kids wanted to make a train....Allie loved all the fun ideas these kids had and loved playing with her cousins

Papa with his "girls"

Tuesday April 1-Despite a couple of the kids getting a little sick, we canceled our plans for a sleigh ride, and we went to the movie "Horton See's A Who." Highly recommended....It's been a long time I feel like since a good kid's movie has made it's way out. Tuesday night we had a birthday party for Blake, Uncle Jeremy, and Auntie Lara....all with April birthdays. Papa and Grandma were able to make it over for the party; Grandma Barb was missed and was sick at home.

The birthday bunch

Wednesday April 2-We headed down to the Boise Art Museum for their monthly art craft...this month was painting on canvas. Not really painting, like we thought, it was coloring with pastels....still very cute. My sister and the kids went to hang out with one of her good friends from High School during the afternoon. In the evening I made "pasties" for dinner, a family tradition and favorite for everyone. We put the kids to bed a little early and had a game night playing Hand And Foot; my favorite card game at the time.

Cute Adam helped Ainsley snuggle right up with her baby, bear, and blanket in the chair

Thursday April 3rd-We headed off to story time at the library. Following this, we headed out to Graples-a home decor store in Nampa....then I had to go into work for the evening.

Friday April 4th-We went to a puppet show this morning.....then went to play at Ann Morrison Park for a little while before lunch. Papa was able to come with us during the morning. When we got home and had lunch, Grandma Barb was finally feeling better and was able to come over for the afternoon. That night, the boys all went to a Steelheads Hockey Game and the girls went shopping at the outlets. We really only made it to Carters and Oshkosh since the Boise Outlets for the natives know they are not the greatest outlets

Allie has found "the monster"-I wish I would have gotten this picture from the other angle, it was too cute
