Great-Grammy and Great-Granddad!

After Nana and Papop left, Grammy and Grandad came for their annual grandchildren/great-grandchildren trip through Virginia and Pennsylvania. :) Gracie was thrilled to meet so many new family members in one week and believe me, Evelyn LOVED the attention. ;) Evie was so excited she was at the door ready to greet them when they arrived. :)IMG_7471.JPG
Grammy and Granddad brought Evie a bag of presents which included the tea set that Grammy always kept at her house to have tea parties with me growing up! We've had tea parties every day since and it's so fun using the tea set that has so many memories with it!IMG_7450.JPG
They also brought Evie her first box of markers (and the scented kind at that!!). So much for doing anything else during their visit! ;) Evelyn LOVE LOVE LOVEs her markers and we play with them every day (we'd do it all day every day if it was up to her :)). As you can see, it's how we spent several hours of Grammy and Granddad's visit as well. All this coloring though has resulted in Evie learning all her colors in 1 week with brown being her favorite... hmmm...IMG_7479.JPG IMG_3416.JPG
Gracie wanting to join the fun...

A rare coloring break to read :)IMG_3414.JPG
Don't worry, there was lots of Gracie bonding as well. As you see, Granddad had the magic touch!IMG_3412.JPG IMG_3425.JPG IMG_3418.JPG IMG_3409.JPG
We had lovely weather so we spent one morning at the beach...IMG_7487.JPG IMG_3420.JPG IMG_3422.JPG
And an afternoon walking in CW. We were there just in time to hear the fifes and drums!IMG_7511.JPGIMG_3430.JPG
Evie was very intrigued by the violin, but this was as close as she would get. :pIMG_3431.JPG
After a lovely dinner and quick trip to Yankee Candle, Grammy and Granddad were on the road again. Thanks for coming to visit us!! Can't wait until next fall's annual trip! :)IMG_7465.JPG IMG_7463.JPG IMG_7459.JPG IMG_7469.JPG

  1. I remember that tea set as well!! And markers are a fabulous thing to have, scented are the best! Does the brown marker smell like chocolate? Maybe that's why it's her favorite color haha! Can't wait to see the girls next and I love seeing how big they are getting and what they are learning!

    Love you all!
