We had a great weekend visiting with our precious cousins! Friday night was a blast at Nana and Pop's...eating a yummy meal of grilled chicken and salads. The kids (literally) ran circles around the upstairs. Rach and Bradley discovered the laundry chute and decided it would be a good idea to put all of Nana's Christmas stuffed animals down it. Juju didn't participate, but did report the incident to Nana. I'm sure it was all Rachel's idea and Bradley just followed her lead. :) Better get a lock on that thing, nana, or else either Rachel or Bradley is liable to be the next ones to go down it. :) Bradley was a shadow behind whatever Rachel and Julia wanted to do. Alex was an observer and very interested in seeing what everyone was doing, but mostly wanting to be with his mommy and his nana. Trent was a little quiet angel...only asking to nurse when he was hungry. Even more special was that Aunt Wendy, Uncle Matt, Juj and Alex brought birthday presents for Rachel and Bradley. The kids were ecstatic with the cool gifts they got. Bradley wouldn't put his dinosaurs down for days! Rachel's already made 4 bracelets with her new kit. Saturday, we all spent the morning swimming at Gege and Papa's. That was a blast! All the kids enjoyed it. The girls always have a blast playing and swimming together. Alex enjoyed the tanning ledge and just walking around outside the pool. Bradley enjoyed his float and eating snacks at the table. Trent enjoyed sleeping on the chaise lounge with Pop. Nana and Pop brought all kinds of deli meat for sandwiches plus chips and salads...it was delicious!!! After that, Nana and Pop went home to rest while the rest of us went back to our house so the kids could play. Rach and Juj had so much fun playing together all afternoon. We ended the night with some pitiful Little Caesar's Pizza and a bath. We all had such a great time and are so thankful for the Lanes! What a precious family...we love them so much!!!
