Grandparents Visit #1!

I'm a bit behind on my posting, but I wanted to write a blog about my folks visiting.

The weekend after Raven was born (Sept 18 - 20), my parents drove down from Wisconsin to visit the Littlest Pella Draeger. My parents arrived bearing gifts and meals and love for their grand-daughters!

Julia enjoyed being with her grandparents after she woke up from her nap and had a lot of fun with her presents she received. The girls also received some really cute outfits as well. :) One of Julia's favorite gifts was her very own doll stroller. She is a big fan of anything "baby" these days and a stroller was just the ticket.

Grandma and Papa also brought along Great-Grandpa John, who is always a treat to have visit.

We had a wonderful evening out in Knoxville at the Swamp Fox restaurant. Tasty food and drinks and altogether a good time together. Mama (me) was super tired out by the end of the night, though, and turned in pretty early.

During that weekend, Adam thought it was pretty funny how much larger his bass was than Raven... had to take a picture of that!

Grandma enjoyed time cuddling Raven, but also was nice and took Mama out shopping a bit on Saturday. How fun! And, Papa made roast for dinner for the family Saturday night, complete with veggies and potatoes. It was wonderful!

Of course, Julia proved to be a regular ham and even had a taste of her fabulous duck cookie from friend Amy (the blue frosting was too much fun!).

She also wanted to hold Raven a bit that weekend...

All in all we had a really good weekend together, even if it was a little short. I'm so glad my folks were able to come and visit their little granddaughters!
