Oma and Opa's visit

This is long overdue, but at least I'm posting new pics! Joel's parents came out the last part of Spring Break (in BC) and stayed till Sunday morning, when we drove them to the airport. We had a great visit and the girls loved waking up to find Oma and Opa in the living room every morning!
Karissa and Chloe each got a bear from Oma and Opa when we went to Walmart the one day... Chloe's is about as big as she is... They sure do love them!

Karissa loves colouring with the eraseable markers on her whiteboard (which she's not allowed to do very often) and was so excited to have Opa draw with her.

The favourite passtime. Oma got to the point of hiding that particular book because that's all the girls wanted to read!
Oma was the "horsie" one morning - I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into! That's all the girls wanted to do! (and they're not light anymore!)
Breakfast wasn't even over yet and Karissa wanted to bring out the playdoh. I'm not sure who had more fun, Opa or the girls :)

We had such a great time. Went out for a nice dinner at Boston's Pizza, went to the Spa to go swimming, and of course, played Kanasta after the girls went to bed! Thanks for everything! It was fantastic!

The latest pics...

Chloe and Karissa were playing one day and Joel found Chloe "sleeping" in the shoe closet! I thought when Karissa was talking about putting Chloe to bed, she was playing in her bedroom!

Utter relaxation! Ah yes, Dora before supper - it's a lifesaver some days!
Today we spent a good part of the afternoon in the backyard, and we built a snowman! I was very excited, as usually the snow is so powdery that we can't. We even had a carrot in the fridge for the nose, which Karissa just had to put on.
Chloe attempted to put on the hat, with the help of Karissa, but in the end, mom just did it. (I could see Chloe falling right into the snowman, and then NO ONE would be happy!)
Will there ever be a picture where everyone is looking? Our snowman seems to be raising his hands for some reason. What a great afternoon!!
