Back tracking! 2 boys and 2 girls with 4 parents!

The first weekend in December we were elated to have our good friends Ryan & Becki come down for the weekend with their 2 adorable girls (ages 3 and 3 months). As soon as they arrived Ryan started unloading their car and carrying in several bags. All of them were BRIGHT PINK! I loved it. Our weekend plans were to have NO PLANS! It was the BEST weekend!

Here are the baby's sharing in conversation.  I think Will was envious of Elin's long beautiful hair.  He was making the moves on her.  Elin was born August 29th. Will Sept 12th.  I love Will laying on the leopard blanket with a pink border :)

 
On Friday night we had a Taco Bar and then just chilled in the basement. We let the kiddos stay up late.  The big question was whether or not Libby & Elin's elf "Buddy" was going to find them at our house. Low & Behold SHE DID!  We woke up that morning to Shorty (Z&W's elf) and Buddy (Libby & Elin's elf...she is female but has a male name) fishing with candy canes off our mantle.  Let's just say these elf's enjoyed each other that weekend! 

 On Saturday, the girls went shopping a bit, we made homemade individual pizzas, baked sugar cookies, iced Sugar cookies, the guys watched football, and we made clipboards.  I love Becki so much.  We have always had so much in common.  We joke that we are sisters....we really are because we were both Alpha Chis (just at different colleges). We love crafts, sewing, cooking, shopping, and all things girly.  Our husbands always make fun of us because whenever we are together we find something to make and we have to make a trip to Hob Lob or JoAnns. This time in was modge podge clip boards.  Unfortunately we were so sticky or covered in paint I have no pictures of this part of our weekend. I must add we were planning on going to SDC to see the lights but it was raining and very cold so we just stayed in all day.  It was perfect.  The kids had a blast too.  I think Z & Libby had a crush on each other.

 Later that night when they were cool the kids iced them and decorated.  They were the most beautiful cookies I had ever seen!

 These two kids were so much fun!

 On Sunday we went to BPS to see the Christmas village and have breakfast.

We have decided that we have a locked in date on the calendar for the first weekend in December to have a weekend visit.  We all enjoyed each other so much.  We love you R, B, L, & E!
