Mom's Birthday Weekend

Big weekend! Mom's birthday is on the 27th, so my brother John and his wife Andrea came for a visit. And who else did they bring? YEA! Xander and Selene, my cute nephew and niece. We had so much fun playing, talking, and of course, eating!

All three grandkids in their bumbos with their Gram.

 Xander and Selene are anxious to play with their cousin, but they'll have to wait a while yet for Ryder to get bigger.

Selene saying "Hooray!" for all of us.

This is where we spent most of our time - playing in the living room with many toys, especially my old kitchen playset.

Gram, Pops, Xander and Ryder.

Xander loved for Mike to play the guitar.

Andrea ridin' the three wheeler.

And to top it all off, Ryder accomplished big feats after John and Andrea left. That afternoon he started grabbing his feet while lying down and rolled over for the first time! I'm so proud of my boy!

All in all it was a really great weekend for Mom and for the rest of us. It's nice to have a family that gets along so well, even more awesome when both sides of your family are that way. We are truly blessed.
