The rest of the story

We had a ball when our kids and grandgirls were here! (If you're wondering if grandgirls is a word, it is. This is my blog, and I say so.) The thing the girls loved most was going swimming!! I think they could go to the pool every single day. The thing that was number one on my list was taking family pictures. (More on that in another post...)

Here's a few photos, in no particular order. Visiting with Mamma (Don's mom). She was really happy to see her great-granddaughters.


And the rest of us too.

There was a lot of violin playing...

And time to sit and open presents.


Kirra immediately latched on to Uncle Chris. She wanted to stake her claim. The girls both adore him.

We went to Dairy Barn and had fun looking at all the cool stuff. And eating hamburgers and ice cream...




There's an elevated train on a track, and pulling the cord to blow the horn is a big deal. It is. I dare you to go there and not pull it. It would be un-American.

The memorabilia is fascinating...Coca Cola, Disney, Beatles, TV, music...they have it all.





Kirra, the five old with a smile that lights up her whole face.

If Alahna and Kirra look happy here it's because they just held baby alligators. And they got plunked down in old wood chairs in a little Cajun house and the curator (she must be one) gave them coloring sheets and Mardi Gras beads and calendars. What's not to love?





Alahna loves rolls. Ditto for Kirra although I didn't get a shot of her eating them.


It was an awesome visit. Love, love, love....

This Pawpaw is always happy to see his grandgirls.

And to all a good night.

Sweet pictures, good memories, Christmas is awesome when the grandgirls come to town. Now, onto the Carribean, warm chocolate melting cake and SUN.

We're ready!! Shopping, hot tubbing, mongolian grilling, Island grooves...

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin
When the sun goes down, we'll be feeling all right
When the sun sinks down, over the water...

Oh my gosh! Your grandgirls are too cute for words! HOLY COW! Beautiful!!! And, I love the rolls at Texas Roadhouse too! I think they put some sort of addictive substance in them to keep you coming back for more!!!

what a gorgeous family! i love me some rolls, too-ever had the ones at red lobster? now there's a good roll!

thanks so much for stopping by my blog-i wanted to let you know the mirror/jewely holder was from CSN.com, but i found the same exact one (brand and all)at target's website, which was cheaper so CSN pricematched and they have free shipping.
