Family Weekend

It's been a great weekend so far (and it's a long one thanks to Family Day)! Grandma and Grandpa are here (otherwise known as gamma and gampa). The girls took to them right away as soon as they walked through the door. Normally it takes them longer to warm up to them, despite us showing them pictures and talking up the visit. Maddie has been especially attached to my dad, which was really nice. When he went to have a shower this morning, she threw a fit on the floor because "gampa gone!" I tried to explain that he would be right back, but she wasn't hearing it. She flailed around kicking the wall and screaming.

Later that afternoon, we all had fun dancing in the kitchen. The girls love music and they love to dance. Then they played tickle with grandma, grandpa and the Happy Feet penguins. They girls sqealed and laughed as dad and Anna pretended to be tickled by the penguins.

We had Kaitlyn, Jenn and Jeff over for dinner, and all three girls were playing a jumping game on the princess bed which dad was actively participating in. He would try to leave the room and all three of them would yell "come, gampa, jump!" There was no escaping the call of three toddlers. They can be pretty convincing! By 9:30 grandma and grandpa, especially, were exhausted after a fun day with the girlies!
