We had a great weekend with my sister, mom, niece and nephew visiting. It was chaotic at times as we had 4 kiddos 3 and younger in our small space. There were several times I wondered how my grandma did it with 5 little ones all very close together. Amongst the chaos we had a great time and everyone slept well!
We went to the Kirby Science center on Friday morning to blow off some steam. Here is Annabelle as an astronaut.
Landon the Astronaut.
The little ones playing at the water table-their favorite!
The shadow maker! This is one of my favorite parts-hard to get a good photo though.
The boys spent A LOT of time wrestling with each other and Ryan of course.
We fit all 4 in the tub together. It was a little crammed but we all managed quite well!
I had all kinds of help in the kitchen all weekend. Here is Landon and Annabelle helping me make Grandma Junes frosting for the cake.
Here is why they really help....
As you know, Landon isn't always the best eater, but when it comes to frosting and other sweets...that is a whole different story!
My first attempt at a cake. I gave it a C-, we'll see how the next few turn out! No matter how it looked, it was sure yummy! The 3 littlest ones birthdays are all within about a month, so we celebrated them all together. We decided to include Landon since he is only 3 and probably wouldn't entirely understand. I do have to say though, on Kadence's actual birthday day, he was good and knew it was just about her!
Here's Kadence getting a peak at the cake...she really wanted to dive in!
Everyone got to blow out their very own candles!
Opening presents. This was the first time Kadence had any interest in opening her presents, so it was pretty fun!
Annabelle was so cute and loved her new clothes!!
AJ having a turn!
Landon opening his presents. He didn't have as many but was sure happy with what he had...thanks mom and Jill for including Landon-he is spoiled:)
We had such a nice weekend. It is always so much fun to have my family come and visit us here. On Sunday we drove to Albert Lea to have lunch with my Grandma Kalis and Aunt Dori. We surprised Grandma and sure had a good time. My sister and mom went back to Cloquet from there and the kids and I came back here. They were really good considering the end to a busy weekend was spent mostly in the car-and on the most beautiful day yet!
I have been fortunate and able to spend some great quality time with my mom and sister this past month. We certainly have to take advantage of it now since we could very easily be far far away a year from now. Thanks for the great weekend guys!
