We were so incredibly lucky to have the Grandma and Grandpa Binns come down and visit with us for the weekend! They arrived Sunday and left Tuesday morning. It was a wonderful few days.
Evette was so excited to have them here and to share her world with them.
Papa Binns!!! Is this not the most precious thing you've ever seen!
And this melts my heart.
Grandma and Grandpa read a zillion books this weekend, of course. The quickest way to these girls' hearts is to read to them.
Great Grandma Joyce and Baby Miriam Joyce. Two huge joys in my life.
Summer Clearance at Target = Happiness at our California house!
I could look at this sweet face all day long. Oh wait, I do.
Sweet snuggles.
It was a little bit slippery ha! After this slip she sat there for a few seconds deciding if it was more funny or scary. Luckily, she chose funny and had quite a laugh about it.
Even though Evette's 3rd Birthday isn't until the next Sunday, we decided to celebrate a week early so we could have Grandma and Grandpa Binns here with us! And we'll probably celebrate again on her birthday....and again when my mom comes up in 2 weeks (!!!!). Who doesn't love to celebrate birthdays!
Evette requested tacos for her birthday dinner. Evette grabbed the big camera and took some pictures of us around the table.
And she took this picture of Miriam! I love it. And Miriam loves black beans as evidenced by her messy face :)
After dinner we had a couple presents to open. Evette got a complete Elsa ensamble from Gigi! She was thrilled!
She has been dressing up as Elsa ever since she saw the movie with random pieces in her dress up box, but now that she has the real Elsa dress she was just estatic!
Making Ice!
And then one last present.....
A big girl bike!!! She has ridden her little trike nearly every day and it is quite worn and she was ready for something bigger.
She was anxious to get on it. It's much bigger than her previous bike, but she did pretty well!
It was a little bit scary....
But she caught on pretty quick! It is a little big for her, but it'll last a long long time.
And then of course the birthday cake. Evette requested a tree and a red bird on her birthday cake. So....I did what I coul! It didn't turn out half bad!
She loved it. And that's all that matters.
...and we didn't have any candles! oops! Tea light candles did just as well and she didn't care at all, obviously.
Also, I cannot believe my baby is 3.
We feel so blessed to have the grandparents with us for a bit. The girls absolutely loved it. I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa will sleep for a few days once they get home. Evette sure keeps us busy!
We love these guys and already miss them!
