Well…we had one heck of a week! With all of the family here we decided it was the perfect time to chop down 2 dead 20 year old white pine trees. If this photo doesn’t represent a Tim Allen moment…I don’t know what does!! arrrgh!

We even used a lot of the dead wood to create a bonfire—for those of you connected to the family, we’ll give you only one guess as to who STARTED this fire…

We even got to stay up late and roast marshmallows…it was awesome!

Uncle Nathan also gave us rides on our lawnmower…

he even let Cousin Aby and I steer!

The weather was absolutely incredible. We had mostly 50s and 60s…even Aby got to take her coats off! We enjoyed having an outdoor picnic…although the wind kept blowing the curtains and Aby insisted on having them open. What is it with girls and opening the curtains for sunlight??

Of course we took everyone to the zoo…

and finally got to see our new Siberian tiger, but you’ll have to wait until next week to see her photos!

I even brought Aby to preschool with me–we had a great time!

When it was a little too chilly in the morning to go outside we pullled out the board games…

and even decorated Easter cookies. We had to keep our eyes on the adults though…they were eating them as fast as we were decorating them!

It was fun having Uncle Nathan around…he really spices things up. Although I think he’s still a little bit disappointed about losing to me in our tickle fight. :)

I think I may have convinced Aby that doctors and pirates are more fun than princesses…

but I’m not totally sure. But seriously, how could anyone choose Ariel over a Spidey-pirate???

Mama and Uncle Nathan made veggie sushi one night. It looked really cool and they even made us kids pb&j versions, but I had to say no to seaweed…and ate a grilled cheese instead.

It was downright chilly before Aby and Nathan got here…it’s a good thing they brought the warm weather with them!

Although I had a bit of an attitude at times, all in all I had a really good time with everyone that was here…

and I’m pretty sure that I’m already missing Cousin Aby’s unpredictable hugs! I hope everyone enjoyed the post! Don’t forget to come back next week to check out our new tiger’s pics!
