Last 3 Days

On Sunday, Nels's Dad's brother (Uncle Phil) and his wife (Aunt Meg) drove from Raleigh to see all of us.  It was fun to see them.  We cooked up some brats and enjoyed potato salad.  Here's the group.
Kira loves to help out in the kitchen.  Far Mor had a little shadow helping her make the salad.

On Monday, our big outing was to Noah's Art.  The kids loved it and did so much better than when they were 18 months old.  They really got into it.  

They wanted to try everything and were pretty serious about it. :)
Lots of hand washing.
Beading.  The kids loved it so much that a week later I bought a pound of beads and a hundred pipe cleaners.  Haha...I went a little overboard on it.
Both of them started and finished bracelets.
They made them with very little help too.  The funny thing is...almost 2 months later they both still have the bracelets and wear them often.
Water coloring...and there's Kira's pink bracelet.
Picture with their artwork.
Here's all the stuff they made.

I cringed when Kira put the eye just randomly on the page...but it's ok, she's 2!
Isak did the same thing, but his eye fell off.  He loved coloring with markers on that yellow fish.
The last night they were here, we went to a delicious dinner at Old Stone Steakhouse in Belmont, NC.

Kira had a hard time.  I tried to hold her up for the pic...but it didn't turn out too well.
Yummy Filet and potato. And yes, I ate every bite!
Afterwards, we walked to the soda fountain for some ice cream.

Love this little table and chair.  Good pic of Isak.
Cute pic of Kira...

No more pictures MOM!  haha.  See his bracelet too. :)
Mother and son.
These two loved eating Far Far's ice cream!
And that's all!  We are so happy Nels's parents came to visit us.  We had a wonderful time.  Thank you for coming!!
