We had the BEST weekend!!! When Husband and I got married it was really important to me to have a "hang out" house. I want my door to always be open, I want people filled up here whether it is with food, fellowship, love or rest.
I want my girls to know there is ALWAYS room for one more and that we practice "the more the merrier". I want them to grow up with a spirit of hospitality and I want them to feel they can ALWAYS have friends here. This weekend we did just that. And it was a TOTAL surprise for Minnie. She knew that we had a "busy" weekend ahead but she had NO IDEA what was in store for her on Friday night. This is how she felt about it when she figure it out!
COUSINS!!!!
(Ho-Hahn IS actually happy but it is more fun to see Ant CountryMouse freaking out behind the camera ;)
As soon as they got here they took a hike through the woods, played all over the house and then we got ready for each of them to make their own homemade pizza.
Then it was movie time and it wouldn't be time with CJ and Ho-Hahn if Uncle S didn't haul out the whipped cream :)
Got everyone settled and ready for bed around 7:45 and we TRIED to have them all in the girl's room. Girl's in their bed and boys on the floor. Miss B just could.not.handle the excitement. So finally after multiple trips up and over the stairs and some weeping from Minnie the boys came down to the den around 9 :) didn't hear a peep from anyone after that...
until 7AM! :)
Silliness!
This may have been one of my FAVORITE parts of the weekend. I heard Miss B tell Ho-Hahn that she had a Pocahontas book. He sat right down with her, they chatted about something (I couldn't hear because I was grabbing my camera) and I came back to hear him say... "start at the beginning. I thought you said you were going to READ!" :) hee hee hee
And then it was time to add in MORE friends. I went to pick up Michelle who was up for a wedding and her son, Sawyer. They kids all hit it off immediately and there were giggles all over the place within minutes of meeting each other :)
Been a long time since he's hung out at my house without his sisters :)
Michelle wasn't able to take him to the wedding so he got to hang with us. Husband took all the boys and Minnie fishing (much to Miss B's chagrin) and then brought Sawyer back to hang out and wait for his Mama.
These two didn't miss a beat playing together. My girl loves this faraway family and it makes me miss them so much when I see the connect :)
We finished the weekend strong with the "WORLD PREMIRE" :)
There are few that love this show more than these guys ;) So Jeffrey came to watch the movie!! :) We have NEVER had a 1x1 play date with him (he usually comes with three precious siblings:) so this was a first and it was FUN!
Husband made his famous homemade popcorn, I put out a little (emphasis on LITTLE) bowl of chocolates, a little plate of cookies and they were RIGHT in heaven :)
The time is short on how long we'll let them sit this close on the couch :)
but they were chaperoned :)
I had the BEST weekend doing all the fun kiddo stuff with Husband. I couldn't imagine a better partner to make my dreams a reality with weekends like this!
