Gwamma!

We had a highly anticipated visitor here in April- Grandma came to visit us for nearly a week!  The weather was horrible while she was here, but we more than made up for it with tons of fun inside.  We ate our way through Iowa!  We went shopping several times (with and without the kids), 

  went to the movies, Jason and I had a date night, we painted nails, 

 and we had a very fancy tea party with fairy princess girls and superhero cop dudes.

 

One of the most exciting things that happened while Grandma was here was the arrival of another fairy in our home!  Leah found her fairy Elfie Crystal Shimmer back in 2011, and Emma found her fairy Sapphire Sparkle Moonbeam (Saffy for short) this week!  

She is beautiful and Emma has had a delightful time corresponding with her.  

The best part of the week for me was remembering how fun it is to take a break from life, even at home!  I didn't have to cook or clean much, and it was so fun to have a shopping/eating/staying up late and chatting partner in crime here for a few days.  We're not sure when we'll see Gwamma again, but we sure did love having her here with us, and are already looking forward to our next visit!
