A Special Visitor

This weekend, we had a such a fabulous treat - Aunt Denise drove down from New Hampshire to spend the weekend with us.  We kept her visit a secret from the girls so they were overjoyed when she arrived on Saturday morning.  Aunt Denise is a well known spoiler and this visit was no exception, as she arrived with some "little things" for the girls including sidewalk chalk, M&Ms, pumpkin straws and books and barbies (because Lee and I deprive them so....).  She got a full dose of Elizabeth and Emily, as they constantly demanded her undivided attention.  Once we put the girls down for the night, she was able to relax with us a bit before the craziness started all over again on Sunday morning.  And her visit included one unexpected surprise - the door handle in her room stuck and Lee had to climb through the window and take the door off of the hinges to get her out (you're welcome, Lee and Denise, for not posting any pictures of the drama!).  She made it home safe and sound (driving through a snowstorm) and the girls have already asked us to plan her next visit.  We had such a great time - thanks so much for making the trip Denise!!

Helping Emily with the glue is a lot more difficult than it looks!
