My Sister Melissa and her two girls came for a visit this last weekend. We have not seen them in over 4 years so we were really looking forward to this! My dad and Cathrine decided to have a big grandparents party with just the grand kids and give us siblings a chance to catch up. They were taking the kids to the children's Museum in Olympia which was having a Halloween boo bash. I don't think they realised what they were getting into with 5 kids and a place so crowded with kids. Melissa and I were taking bets on which child they would loose! When they got back I could tell that they had had enough and when asked when they would take the kids again they both said they would wait a few years. It was really good for the cousins to meet and get to know each other.
This is the first picture of us sisters in over 4 years. Melissa seems to do this every time we take pictures together.
While all the kids were at the grand party we went out to eat. Daniel saw us eating and wanted something too. Melissa doesn't like pickle so she gave hers to Daniel. As you can see he loved it!
He loved the pickle so much he really got mad when we tried to take it away!
This is the best I could do to get a picture of the costumes. They really had a hard time standing still!
Noah and McKayla showing off their old men rattles they made.
Okay, Kendall wanted me to let you all know he is against putting this picture on to blog, but it's my blog and I just couldn't resist! This is a total black mail picture! My sister Melissa made these really cute hair things for Emma and I was teasing Noah about them. He really thought we were being silly putting them in his hair. So sorry Noah!
It was a very busy day with meeting new cousins and a big "grand" party we were all very tired. This was a rare moment of calmness and you can really see just how tired we all were. All the kids are use to early bed times and I think this was taken about 8pm.
Poor Uncle Joshua is the favorite uncle which means he is the one that is treated like a jungle gym!
My dad's house is very small and with 6 grand kids plus 6 adults it was a pretty full house. I am amazed Daniel was not trampled to death!
So, we told the kids to act a little crazy and pretend to attack Grandpa Bill and Cathrine, which didn't take much convincing. Alina stood on my dad and jumped on him just as this picture was taken so the look on my dad's face is real.
Getting this pictures was an amazing thing as it was the end of the day and the kids were sooo tired and hyper.

Don't worry about the flower picture. (have I ever shown you the one of my kids dressed up as fairy princesses?) Those kinds of pictures need to be taken and saved for future blackmail. (like when they're teenagers)
