Busy weekend!

What a busy weekend. I'm looking forward to going to work for some downtime!

Gray's 5th birthday and Lila's 3rd birthday. 

Dylan loves her Uncle John. 

School friends.

So cute...  These girls always want a "huggie" before leaving at the end of the day.

It's been fun watching the girls grow up together. Emese and Alyssa used to be SO shy. 

Home, sweet home!

Dylan did great on this trip but she was super excited to be home.

Hitching a ride.

So cold!  We waiting inside while Marty got the car.

It was hilarious to watch Dylan when we got home. She was giddy!  Running from room to room saying "HI" to her bed, her blankets, the couch, the TV.  Apparently she missed home A LOT!

Day 4 in Phoenix.

Mostly blurry pictures. I should have brought my good camera. It's so hard to get a clear shot of these fast moving creatures!

Jennifer and Kiera.

Dylan and Sky.

New costume. She saw a Toys R Us while driving and asked about a zillion times if we could go there.

Ah Ma and Ah Gong and the grand kids that were present.

Day 3 in Phoenix.

Butterflies in 3D at the Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale, AZ.  Pretty cool.

Dylan waiting SO patiently for one to land on her.

And one finally did!!

Playing with Sky. Neither of them like pictures!!

Finally...  I catch Sky on camera.

Dylan, Sky, and Ah Ma.  Wish we all lived closer.

Day 2. Thanksgiving.

My parents are so easy to please...  So happy that there were fresh oranges right outside the door of our place.

Dylan's first time picking oranges.

Fresh squeezed OJ every morning. Simple pleasures!

Thanksgiving Day walk to Starbucks. Now that the iPhone 6 tracks steps...  Marty likes to be sure he gets at least 10,000 steps in.

Walking back through the golf course and picking oranges and lemons. Love this!!

Courtney and Kiera.

It was too busy to take pictures during our Thanksgiving meal. We had it at my brother's house with all of us AND Jennifer's family. It was a full house!

We went to the park after eating. After all...  Marty hadn't gotten his 10,000 steps yet.

Ah Ma and baby Kiera. Probably the last grandchild.
