Gran and DD came to visit us in Dallas last weekend and we had a wonderful time. Here are just some of the highlights from their visit.
Gran and DD brought the girls bags filled with fun things. One of their favorites were these glasses. The girls would ask us to close our eyes and then they would put on their disguises. Then everyone would play along saying, "Oh, what
happened to Stella?" Then she would take them off and we would all cheer. They could have played it all day!
I love this one. She is checking herself out in her new mirror!
Here we are after another wonderful meal at
Chuy's. Inside
Chuy's is decorated with a lot of Elvis
memorabilia. The girls call it the Elvis Restaurant. They were so excited to bring Gran and DD to say hi to Elvis.
The girls were entertained all weekend with books and games. They always love to have Gran and DD read to them.
On Saturday night Stella fell asleep really early. So Rayna had the night to herself. We were all sitting around in a circle and Rayna would go from one lap to another requesting a game or song from each person. It was so much fun for me to see her get to be the spotlight. The life of a second child is so different than the first. Of course, I think it is so much more fun to come into the world with a sister there to welcome you but it was fun to see Rayna get a night all to herself!
Aunt Chris came to town Saturday night and suprised Gran and DD! It was so much fun to have her with us!
Sunday morning we went to Arlington. Our first stop was cowgirl hat shopping! Here are the girls trying on all of the different hats.
I have to admit I was a little nervous going down! But it was a lot of fun.
One of the "rules" at Trail Dust is no ties allowed. So DD brought two old ties and the guys wore them. After noon on Sunday they go around and anyone wearing a tie gets it cut off! We thought Stella would love this but for some reason it caught her off guard and she cried when they came to cut off the ties. She got over it quickly but she talked about it all day! I think the whole thing was just confusing. I wish we had explained to her more ahead of time. But, of course, now she can't wait to go back!
DD with half a tie!

Sunday morning we went to Arlington. Our first stop was cowgirl hat shopping! Here are the girls trying on all of the different hats.
Then we went to a restaurant called Trail Dust. It was a cowboy restaurant with a huge slide from the second floor to the first. It was really high so the girls had to go down with someone. Stephen took them over and over again! I didn't get a picture of it but Gran even went down the slide! What a fun grandmother!
