Visitors!

Brian's parents and two of his brothers were able to come out for a visit this past week. It was so wonderful to have family here! We had a great time together hanging out, making chocolates, eating at Max & Erma's, and just being together. The girls were so excited for grandma to do ballet with them and to get ice cream with grandpa.

Patrick Anson and Miles Anson - buddies from the start!

I got to hang out with these two for most of the day Thursday and Friday (with Nora and Miles) while Brian's parents went to Chicago to see Wicked! and Brian was up at school. We had a great time.

Dallin Paul is a good tickler!
This picture made me laugh!
Hugs for grandma
All of us! Look closely at Sophie.... she was pretty sad, but trying to be happy!
We had some pretty good snow falling down and Paul took it upon himself to get our driveway shoveled - in shorts of course :)

I remember meeting Brian's brothers, they are remarkable people! You are sure lucky to have them in your family. Glad you were able to spend time with family. It always nice to feel loved and special when they take that time to come and be with you. Wish we could do the same!

Looks like fun but I'm jealous! I miss our times at the Phillips land by the river with them and you all. Well, things change. But just give it 11 months and we will both be there! Grandpa John
