Visitors to Texas and an early Thanksgiving
November 20, 2014 Leave a comment
My family descended upon Texas during the recent arctic blast (although I guess it still felt warm to those northerners) to celebrate my brother’s birthday and an early Thanksgiving. We still had fun even though we stayed indoors most of the weekend. Of course, the main attraction was seeing the two cousins together again. The evening they arrived, Harper was painfully shy and wouldn’t make eye contact for a while, even though she talked for weeks about Avery coming to visit. But she warmed up, like she always does.
We took the girls to the children’s museum and they loved it! We had to drag them out of there to grab lunch before their inevitable crash nap in the car. And they looked adorable in their matching outfits from Gramoo!
We couldn’t get enough of their hugging, so we asked them to hug many times that weekend.
My mom loved having both of her granddaughters together.
And Avery practiced her serious pose.
I think Avery’s favorite part of the visit was chasing Maeby and trying to lay on her.
Best friends!
The girls loved having their Uncle Chris to entertain them with shoulder rides and laundry basket rides.
We prepared a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and while the turkey was cooking, the girls took a wagon ride around the neighborhood and played with play-doh.
After dinner, we put the girls to work cleaning up the kitchen.
Towards the end of their visit, it started to warm up a bit and the girls got some backyard playtime with Mamie.
We were sad to see them go and for a few days after they left, Harper kept asking about Avery. We’ll see them again next year once baby brother is born!!
