A week ago Friday, April 25, Grandma came to visit! And by “visit,” I mean that she came to save our lives!  She made sure that we had yummy food, that the kids were entertained, and that I got a nap every day! I feel so much more ready to tackle mother-of-two-hood on my own, now that I have had a week to ease into it!  Thanks a million, Mom!

And as much as I loved having Grandma around, Fay had a ball!Grandma had brought a sewing project with her to work on during her down time which was a bunch of fabric circles to make yo-yos.  Fay LOVED the finished yo-yos!  She would beg for yo-yo showers, and liked just holding and playing with them.  But then Grandma started a “yo-yo fight” which was probably the awesomest thing ever done with fabric yo-yos!

I love this picture because it is adorable, and because I feel like it is a good representation of the fun we had while Mom was here!  Also, Fay is on the “circle blanket” that she got from Grandma when she was born, and Carter is on his! They are basically the most beautiful quilts ever!

 

She also did lots of snuggling! There’s nothing better than a good snuggle, after all! (Sorry for the blurry picture.)

 

We decided that we should celebrate Fay’s birthday while Mom was here!  Josh made sure that she had the perfect little girl cake!She called it “owl cake” and she loved it! We all loved it too! (It was a white cake with a strawberry mixed with vanilla Greek yogurt filling, and a cream-cheese/whipped cream frosting!)

We will miss having grandmas with us! But we are excited that we have an excuse for them to come back soon! We will have Carter’s baby blessing sometime soon, and then we will get grandmas and grandpas!!!!
