Family.....

I'll spare you the barrage of giddy details as I look out at the snowy sea of white--hey, if it is still technically winter, it might as well be winter. :) I'll embrace while it's here. Remember, this is Nevada so it'll be short-lived.
 As I mentioned earlier, we have been blessed to have Andy's grandma Beth, Aunt Kathy, and cousin Aiden here visiting from Texas this past week and it's been wonderful to "reunite" again. The boys enjoyed a few "cousin days" with Aiden spending an entire day with us and then cousin Aven here for a day as well!

 We also celebrated Andy's birthday this past Friday--we were able to sneak away on a little dinner date :) and then enjoy some presents and cake (made by his Grandma!) back at his parent's house.

We ended the time with Gi-GI and Kathy and Aiden with a lunch at Pizza Hut and all the boys wandered out into the hills for the afternoon. It was a perfect day and a great ending to a wonderful week with some extended family.
