We were lucky enough to have Grandpa Steve and Grandma Cindy come up a couple of weeks ago for the long weekend. And boy did we keep them busy!!! I am not sure we could have crammed anything more into our time together even if we had tried. We loved that they were able to bring cousins Kayla and Leah up too. We all had a great time together.
Saturday was full of basketball games, and the kids loved having family there to watch them!
First off, we headed to Regan's game.
And then we headed to Jordan's game:
The kids were troopers, but their faces say it all!
There was a little bit of snow and a little bit of time to play in it!
Then it was Cole's turn for basketball.
That evening, Ashton had her honors orchestra concert. Tod stayed home with the six kids so Steve, Cindy and I could go and enjoy. It was absolutely wonderful to see these talented musicians. And Ashton was on cloud 9 having her grandparents by her side to support her.
I love this picture. My kids are so blessed to have grandparents in their lives.
We all slept well that night!
Sunday was a nice day to relax and attend church together. Look at this group of kiddos. They have such a good time together. Love it when the cousins can hang out.
This guy be-bopped around all weekend enjoying all the attention! You can't really see but in this picture he is wearing his cousin's high heels!
Monday was Martin Luther King Day so we took advantage of the day off school to have Jordan's birthday party. It will come as no surprise that she wanted a sports-themed party at the church gym. And it was perfect for her friends since they are all little athletes. It was such a fun party- I think one of my favorites, but I always say that! It was really simple but really fun.
We started off with some kickball, then relays, basketball, and dodgeball. These girls play hard!
We were so happy that cousins and grandparents could join us! A very rare treat! We did not want to let them go back to Missouri. We were so glad they came.
Of course, we had to have pizza. The budget called for Little Caesar's but Grandpa Steve spoiled Jordan with one pizza from Casey's!
And you gotta have a doughnut cake!
It would not be a party without Jackie and Tanner...her favorite adult friends! The girls loved having these 2 at that party. They are so much fun.
All in all it was the perfect way to cap off a week of birthday celebrations! Happy Birthday Jordan!
