It was raining on Friday! Such a welcome sight! And it rained on us pretty much the whole drive to the metroplex. We met Melynda & Jordan and Rich & Christi & Aidan & Annaliese at La Hacienda as soon as we got to town. (Eric was at a debate tournament, so we missed getting to see him this trip....he's gonna be sorry he missed La Hacienda!) La Hacienda has become one of our favorite eating spots....best fajitas ever!
Making breakfast at Rich & Christi's is always a family affair...the kids love to help! Aidan has a new Star Wars Cookbook, and Saturday morning he made Boomba Breakfast Tarts! (That kid lives and breathes Star Wars!) They were pretty tasty! After breakfast we played....tea parties, baby dolls, Star Wars....until it was time for Grandpa, Daddy & Aidan to go up to the church to 'shape' Aidan's race car for the Awana Derby. With the 'boys' gone, the 'girls' got to watch The Sound of Music...Annaliese is kinda stuck on that movie right now and wants to watch it all the time! Her favorite part is the puppet show, although she really likes the scene where the kids say good-night at the party! She even had to 'act out' the part where Gretl inches her way 'up' the staircase, step by step, on their staircase....all the way to the top! It was a fun, relaxing morning, and Aidan commented several times on how much fun we had, getting to stay in their jammies and play. I know this Nana had fun!!
Tea Party with Cinderella (aka Annaliese)
Saturday afternoon we went over to Melynda's, and Jordan played with Grandpa while Nana helped Melynda reorganize stuff in Jordan's room. She had gotten new shelves and was getting rid of 'little kid' toys and making room for his 'big boy' stuff and new Christmas things. We had a great time, then went to meet the Burkles for dinner at Olive Garden. Mmmmm......
Rich & Christi had nursery duty on Sunday morning, and Melynda had 'Little Sprouts' duty at her church! So Kerry & I went by ourselves to Rich & Christi's church, Stonebriar Community, and heard Chuck Swindoll. Awesome message, great singing, worshipful morning. After church, Rich grilled hamburgers and hotdogs so the guys could watch what turned out to be a very disappointing Cowboys game. Melynda and Jordan came over and joined us, and the kids got to play together. This is what you get when you have two little boys who like to wear costumes, and one of them is a Star Wars nut!
Darth Vader (aka Jordan) and Storm Trooper (aka Aidan)
Now they've switched.....Aidan is Darth & Jordan is Storm Trooper!
What an awesome weekend with the kids! It's so nice that they live fairly close to each other so we can see all of them when we go for the weekend.
Monday morning we got up and left for Waco while they got ready to go to the zoo for the day!
Waco......that's another post!
