Cassidy and Travis arrive!

And they brought their parents too! We've been having lots of fun with all of them here. It's been too long since they were last here in Michigan, we can't believe its been a year and a half! We've had this date on the calendar for a long time, and for the longest time October seemed so far away, but school started and before we knew it, October was here! We're glad they choose to stay with us for six days!

 We got to celebrate Cassidy's 5th, Travis's 3rd, Sarah's and Kristi's birthdays! Here are the kids (and Kristi) eating their birthday cupcake treats after opening presents. (In case you were wondering why Kristi is sitting with the kids, she doubled up and celebrated again later with the adults for more birthday treats.) 

 Sarah and I don't know how to plan a vacation together without coordinating at least one outfit! In the case of this trip the kids have two matching outfit sets and matching pj's! How long do you think they'll let us do this?! Hopefully until they're at least 22.

Sarah picked out these dresses for the girls. The girls, and Travis who choose to sit on the stairs behind the girls, wore matching outfits to church on Sunday!
Sunday breakfast was memorable because it was the first time I made overnight rolls for everyone - they were a hit. Glad our family could introduce the tradition to their family and cousins visiting from Iowa deserves a special treat like this! I think Travis liked them the most with Sarah at a close second. 

Caught 'cha Travis!

 The two weeks prior to their arrival we had nothing but bright blue skies and warm sunny weather. Unfortunately the grey clouds and rain showed up for the weekend they arrived, but Sunday was nice and warm enough that we all got outside to play on the playset, ride bikes and fly a kite.
