Grandma and Grandpa Visit


November brought lots of fun to our house as Grandma and Grandpa Kellogg came down to visit us from Utah. The kids were simply beside themselves. They have truly missed their grandparents since we left Utah in July 2008. Grandma and Grandpa were able to stay for several weeks and even Thanksgiving....so many of the next few posts will be our fun adventures with them. The top picture is of Dallin and Grandma doing crayon rubbings. This (and painting with the Dora paint with water that could be done over and over) were some of their favorite pasttimes. Grandma brought LOTS of fun toys for the kids to play with while she was here. They really enjoyed her collection of Chevron cars! She also had many many crafts and fun activities for them to do. They simply had a BLAST!

This is one of my favorite pictures. Kate really enjoyed spending quiet moments with Grandpa, and every time he sat down, she quickly set up her tea set and insisted on a tea party. She even convinced him to use real water a few times (this is funny because those tea cups have dribble holes in them...I have NO IDEA why...and if you look closely you can see the water running out of Grandpa's cup in the picture.). At the end of the tea parties, they would be soaked but happy! Grandpa spent a lot of time playing with the kids-throwing balls and frisbees and kicking the soccer ball.
The kids really enjoyed the visit and have many wonderful memories of the time they got to spend with their grandparents!
