Visitors

Mom and Dad came by for a quick visit, since they were in Neerlandia for a wedding anyways.  Lets just say this was a little detour;)   We were really glad for the opportunity we had to show them where we live!

As special as it is for Opa and Oma to come, the boys were beyond excited for Uncle M. He slept in our extra room and it's still called "Uncle Micah's room".  Thanks for putting up with all the rambunctiousness and little boy play Micah! You are the best, and we all love it when you come over!

 It's always quite a job for me to get the boys dressed up to take some pictures for our Christmas cards. It's not the dressing up that is so hard but it's the staying neat and smiling part that is so hard. With mom here it was the perfect opportunity to get an extra pair of hands on board.
It didn't go real well,
I got alot of duds.
From my Dudes.  lol.

Ok, ok, Felicia's attempt at humour;)

But here's a few since they do make me laugh knowing what all went on behind the scenes...
I thought yogurt covered raisins would help calm the situation down but instead turned out to make things worse..

Rowan refuses to sit still...

...Tristan was trying to strategically hand him the raisins...

...MORE MOM!!

*we'll try it this way...*

(Nothing worked)

Seth and Tristan tired so hard...  Rowan was not getting it...

...may as well all join in the fun!!

I think anyone with small children will understand.
