While Tyler was in India my sister, Kristin came to protect me, visit.
Oh how I LOVE having such a an amazing friend, as a sister!
We welcomed her with a scavenger hunt that the kids had worked on all day. It started at the front door and with a little poem as a clue, they led her to find each one of them hiding. It finished up with one of our favorite treats, this month's "Cupcake of the Month" from my favorite local cupcake shop, Root Beer Float. Yes, it is soooo yummy!
With the number I ate in July, it's a good thing I don't think they are available this month.
Plus aren't they so dang cute?!?!

We had a lot of fun with the kids during the day tackling a lot of our summer ABC list.
Here are a few pictures from her camera.
We went bowling, (yes Matthew is checking out Katelyn's fancy shoes and SWEET knee-high socks!)
to the movies, shopping at the outlets, on SEVERAL bike rides,
a picnic at the temple, visits to the library, the mall, and a special art project Aunt Kristin
does with all her first graders to the cute book "Commotion in the Ocean".
These kids love their Aunt and all her spoiling. She's so great at pouring on the praise and the love!
And then at night
we'd put the kids to bed, pop popcorn, find some chocolate, put in a chick-flick, do facials,
pedicures and talk and laugh till way too late! It was wonderful!
This must be why I always wished I had a sister.

ReplyDeleteThanks to Kristen for going to Rocklin to protect Rachelle and our special little ones. Yes, it is great to have sisters, however, some of us really pigged out! It's also wonderful to be able to call them your best friends. How fun to see what a great time you all had together.
