We had the pleasure this past weekend of a very quick, fun visit from Candace, Jeremy, and gang!
Halle was so excited to have them come, she had to cool her jets in the book corner....this is her favorite spot to sit by herself and "read".
They got in very late on Friday night, so the games began on Saturday. Eve was thrilled to meet and even get a chance to hold their new baby, Levi! He is such a cutie and so tiny!
She also enjoyed playing with the big kids (Nathan and Hannah)! They spent a great deal of time up in her room playing and throwing balloons over the railing.
We got dressed up (kind of) that evening and went out to eat!
And of course, I didn't take a single picture of dinner....we went to a restaurant called Magic Time Machine that we'd heard was a fun kids place. All the waiters/waitresses dress up as different characters and the whole place is decorated quite....crazily. Anyway, when we showed up, they said it would be an hour and a half wait. What?!? We debated staying or going for a bit, kept hassling the workers, and finally got seated about 45 mins after arriving. The food was good but the kids (really just ours) were AWFUL! Halle grabbed and threw on the floor everything within her reach until we ended up all crammed together on the other parts of the table with a 2 foot "safe zone" around Halle of bare table. Sigh. Eve was whiny and fussy. We were totally pooped by the end! It was still fun, but made me wish that sometimes we could have grown up dinners and actual conversation with our friends. Maybe some day...
We came back, put the kids in bed, and watched a movie, which was nice. The Baldwins left early the next morning (they needed to be home in time for their church meetings), so it really was a super short stay, but it was SO good to see them and wonderful to meet Levi! Can't wait until we see them again!
