Gram & Gramps

we were so lucky to have gram and gramps come to visit us of the holiday break!  they flew in the day after christmas, so the girls got to open more presents when they came.

and of course to go with mae's stage, there was a microphone.  

 that lights up and plays music...on repeat.  this girl was and still is in heaven.  if i work out when she's awake, she's up there singing and dancing.

 oma and opa got the girls a cool car track.  gramps spent lots of time playing with it.

 oh this girl.  class act.  she has her moments (some days more than others), but for the most part, we got really lucky with her.  she's a loving, sweet, excited, observant kid. 

 little miss iz.  she spends most of her life chasing after her big sister.  and by the time she finally gets there, mae is on to something else.  one day you'll be able to stand on those skinny little legs and run after her!

 one day while my parents were here we headed over to the childrens museum.  (along with the rest of austin).  the girls had a good time.  i love the childrens museum!

 mae's favorite was the painting.  she even remembered it from the last time i brought her here a few months ago!

 she and gram and gramps has a great time with all of the cool exhibits.

 i'm not sure who loved launching the airplanes more, mae or gramps.  when i finally caught up with them, gramps gave us some pointers on how to make sure the airplane shoots all the way to the back wall.

we spent lots of time just hanging around watching football.  gram and gramps got lots of cuddles from these sweet girls.

 my awesome parents also drove to san antonio with us and watched the girls so cody and i could go to the temple together.  we haven't been together in months, so it was so wonderful to be able to go together.

 i might be biased, but i think i have pretty awesome parents.  i'm so blessed that even though we don't live near them anymore, we still get to see them a few times a year...okay more than a few times.  they are such wonderful examples to me and my girls.

 izzy has started giving kisses.  slobbery ones.  love it

 my parents got cody tickets to a couple of UT basketball games.  the first one was this week, and we had a blast!  they're actually really good seats.  even though they lost this game, it was so much fun.  i miss going to basketball games.  an awesome christmas gift!
