Some of Our Favorite People

My parents and my sister came to visit us for 4 days on 2/16. It was a miracle-no delays or lost baggage! I think this was the first time that has ever happened to them since I have lived here! It was another wonderful trip and so fun to have them here. I love seeing the girls with their grandparents. It is so cool how they know them even though they live so far away. All of our frequent trips definitely pay off. Livy was sick the whole time with a fever and urinary tract infection but was feeling a little better the last day of their trip. We went to the zoo, hung out, ate good food, and they got the girls a kitchen for their 2nd birthday. Dad and Eric were just so happy to put all 300 of its pieces together for them! Thanks dad and Eric. Sorry about that!
Livy watching the elephants.

 Animal watching.

Seeing the giraffes was their favorite animal at the zoo but always their favorite thing to do is the carousel. Once they spotted it we couldn't look at anything else without them crying!


Livy being forced to take another picture!


Park time. We went to play and visit my parents favorite Texas ducks and rats! At Meyer park they have those huge rat things in the lake that run up to you for food. my parents love them! Just kidding, they of course think they are totally gross but it is a big joke around here that we have to go feed the rats when they come to TX.

Mom and her girls, me...

and Hannie

Eeveryone getting a good laugh at Livy because she was having a fit. No one wanted to smile for pictures this day.


Aunt Hannie and her nieces who love love love her and follow her everywhere and copy everything she does! Hannie is also the best baby sitter there is! She was such a big help keeping an eye on them and helping them. They "call" Hannah all the time on their phones!


Hannah getting a spin around too!

Rachel about to get spun.

Rae Rae and her best buddy Pop pop.


Walking around the water fountains at the temple. The girls love the temple. They like to call any really big building the temple but at least they are learning.



Snuggle time.

Stories and hugs!



We always love when grandma, pop pop and Hannie come to visit us. they girls are so happy and were actually crying when they left this time. they love playing with Hannah and following her around. it was great to have them here and just hang out. they got their fill of their favorite Texas foods, Papasitos (2x), Chick fil A and BBQ baked potatoes. All great things they don't have in NY. Can't wait until we get to see you guys again! We miss you and love you!

Some of my favorite people too. :) Love, love your parents! So sad that the girls were sick while they were here, but glad y'all still had a nice time together. Nothing in this world is better than time with family!! Hope they come back soon for a visit.
