Grandma came for Christmas!

We were so glad when Grandma finally arrived from Portland, OR (where she was attending Lyrad's youngest brother's graduation from chiropractic school), after her flight kept getting cancelled. She finally borrowed her son's car and drove down here with others who were trapped in Portland due to the weather! Oh, but wasn't all the hassle worth it to come stay with us?!?!? The children sure think so!
Grandma brought fun board games to play with the children, such as Last Word and Would you Rather?


Eliza and Madi (or is it Madi on the left, and eliza on the right?) wanted to see if Grandma could still tell them apart, so they tested her upon arrival, dressed like this.


Making gnocchis for Christmas Eve...



and ravioli. Lyrad loves spending the day cooking with his mom. And I love the break from the kitchen and the great meals!
