Family, Family, Family....

We had a busy weekend full of family time, it was awesome!

Friday night Maggie was surprised with a great treat when Aunt Diane and Howie set up a date to read her bedtime stories via skype....The plan was they were each going to read a story (they sent the books ahead of time so she had a copy and they had a copy) and then Maggie was going to judge who the better reader was. Poor Howie, he didn't have a chance, he could have shown up in full costume and acted out the book and Aunt Diane would have won....Maggie's knows who to keep on her good side :)

Saturday Morning we spent a couple of hours delivering more yard signs, Maggie has decided that it's okay to tell everyone she sees to vote for her dad, but she thinks yard signs are REALLY BORING.

Saturday afternoon we headed for Lincoln. Papa turned 81 on Saturday and we were all excited to be there for his Birthday dinner. Gracie is starting to go through her shy, "I want my mommy" phase, so I wasn't sure how she'd do with everyone around....silly me, she did great....

2 little piggies....

Gracie wasn't wild about eating (she's getting a giant tooth), but
she liked chewing on the rib bones. Papa was so proud.

Happy Birthday to Papa, Happy Birthday to you....

Papa told Maggie to cut the cake with her finger....he only had to tell her once!

Love....

Aunt Cindi took the girls upstairs to throw rubber ducks off the balcony...

OH NO, the fish game is broken....good thing Uncle Marlin can fix anything!

lots and lots of fishin'

HEY! I know this dog sings, maybe if I keep hitting it, it will do it again!

After a late night at Gramma Lea and Papa's we headed for Omaha. Yesterday, we spent the day relaxing and playing.

Got you!

Apparently Gracie was really HOT :)

Mom taught Maggie how to use the player piano.....there could be alot of
loud visits in our future....

Did I mention the volume control is broken....so it only has one level....LOUD!!!!

What a great weekend!
