A Fun Week with Grandma and Papa!

Earlier this month, we got to spend a fun week with Grandma and Papa! They came to help with unpacking and settling into the house {which was SO helpful!}, but there was still time to do some fun things throughout the week :)

The weather was pretty decent, so we were able to spend some time outside. The kids got it in their heads that they wanted to "race" Grandma and Papa, so there were a few competitions during the week.

We also got to take Grandma and Papa to Frying Pan Farm Park to see the animals. The kids always enjoy walking around the farm, and it's closer to our new house, so we will probably spend a lot of time here in the spring.

More racing...

And of course, we had to share our new neighborhood park with them! This is within walking distance of our house, so we are here a lot. It was fun to share it with Grandma and Papa. We also have really great trails throughout the neighborhood...no lack of outdoor exploration :)

My dad was really helpful in getting a few things put up around the house {shelves, towel holders, etc}. He also helped me and Mike clear out the basement utility room, which required a couple of trips to the county dump. Not super glamorous, but thankful for the time with him! :)

One fun thing that the girls got to do was go get manis/pedis! It was a gift from my Dad and Mike for Christmas, and it was such a sweet, fun time. Maddie was beyond excited to go...she was literally bouncing on the way in the door haha. She LOVED every minute of the whole experience, and my mom and I loved experiencing it with her.

She looks so grown up!

Pinks sparkles for the win!

And then I got my wisdom teeth out and was a bit out of it for the remainder of their time, but the kids were glad to spend it with Grandma and Papa. Lots of games, books, building, and reading.

The week went by way too fast, and we can't wait until our next time to spend with them!
