Grandma Comes to Visit

It was really fun having my mom come out to visit for a couple weeks at the end of January.  It was so nice to have the help around the house while Drew was in the field and it was nice to spend time with her.  The kids also love having her here so that is a bonus too.  We had fun going on a few outings and just playing around the house.  Grandma even got to be here to see Eliza take her first few steps which was really exciting!  We are so glad that Grandma could come spend time with us!

 Eliza was all smiles as we got ready for Grandma to show up.

 Yes, we go through lots of outfits!

 Anders loved getting to take Grandma to soccer and show her everything that he does.

 We had a great time going to the zoo with Grandma and Anders even got to feed the giraffes.

 Anders had an awesome time at the zoo!

My mom even helped me make alfajores (a Peruvian cookie) while she was here.

 We went over to one of my friend's houses while my mom was here so that Anders could see the chickens and ride their pony.

 So many chickens.

 Anders loves riding their pony!  It makes him so happy and he has no desire to get off.

 Grandma tried to get Eliza to say hi to the pony too.

 Eliza loved all of the attention that she got while Grandma was here!

 So happy!

 Eliza loved figuring out how to walk and stand and was super happy about it!

Eliza and Grandma!  I hope my daughter learns so much from her Grandma because she is amazing and we are so grateful to have her.
