Brian sister-in-law Shaunna (yes the very one that set us up... and made our happily ever after a reality) came to visit with her girls. Brian's brother Ben and his family live in Seattle but... sinceShaunna's family lives about 2 and a half hours away from us and the closest airport is in CHARLOTTE! This means any time they go to visit her family... which is kind of often (a girl has to see her family) we get to see them. Yet another reason why we love living here!
Anyway they were here for a few days this last week and we had a great time! Debbie and Dave came down, Glenn, Melanie, and Courtney also came over on Friday for dinner. It was so much fun to have everyone over. I love that we have enough space for so many visitors!

Addalyn and I making dinner! YUM!
We rode the train uptown. We went to the Discovery museum. We all LOVE LOVE LOVED the museum! I think Brian liked it more than the girls. he kept saying "come over here look at this!" We laied on a bed of nails... played with percussion... saw lost pirate treasure... created works of art... built towers... crushed a trash can... and so much more. We also had fun with infared (Okay Shaunna and I were the most intrigued by theinfared). We thought we were being sneaky as we tried to see the hottest parts on our bodies, you know, temperature wise...but mostly we were giggling like middle school kids.

He is going to be one HOT dad!

The girls fell in love with aunt Whitney's halfway unpacked closet.. it was Uncle Brian's idea! We played some serious dress up! Hey, in my day I was pretty much a dress-up queen! We made a huge mess... and did some serious accessorizing! Of course they are good at being fancy... HELLO... they were my flower girls! Next time they come it will be even more fun because the "dress up" selection will be organized!
This is my favorite pic.... SO chic!
We loved having everyone over and we can't wait to see them again!

SO SO FUN!!! How exciting that you got to see everyone!
However...I believe that if you ever get to meet MY girls you just might have to change the title of your post. :)
Whitney & Brian, Thanks so much for such a great time. We loved coming and hanging out with you guys & Adalyn and Cosette can't stop talking about you three (of course we have to include Ellie). I loved all of the pictures, infact I saved a bunch of them, I hope you don't mind. I love the picture of you guys with Adalyn & Cosette at the musuem & I really love the pics of Adalyn all dressed up. She looks too cute, like she should be on the front of some magazine. Love the title of the post! I am so glad you love my girls as much as they love you.
Adorable girls! And you are the perfect woman to help them play "dress up" because you have such great style!
Guess what?! My oldest son is going to be serving his mission in North Carolina! Charlotte and surrounding areas :) He'll be there sometime in March.
We miss you at Farnsworth still. Every time a holiday rolls around I think of you and your cute, cute projects. And nobody's classroom even comes close to yours!!
I'm going to leave one comment for all the posts. I have been looking but never left a note (have saved the blog on the 'bar'). Anyway, love the blog and all the great posts. We really enjoyed Christmas as well as the follow-on trip down your way. The house is beautiful to say the least - nice to know we can come down and I can hide away (in my own little world as Debbie says ... lol). The weather of late has prevented us from getting together down at Glenn's but sooner or later Mother nature will give us a break (maybe after another round on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week). When we do get together, we'll bring all your 'stuff' since you now have all this room ... :) By the way, how do I list all the blogs like you have done?
ADORABLE whit. I can't think of anyone else's closet that would be better to play dress up in.
