Nana and Papa visit

Oh the fun that is to be had when Nana and Papa are here! My mom had just gotten back from her trip to Paris and she brought the kids gifts. Before giving each gift (which she spread out over 2 days) she would give them a little history lesson pertaining to what she saw and their gift. She gave the twins swords and taught them about Mont St. Michel..

For Pip's gift she gave everyone a lesson on the Eiffel Tower
  
                                        
and then gave her a beautiful little dress with Eiffel Towers on it...

OK.. It will take me far to long to blog everyone's gift and lesson but it was fabulous - from Normandy Beach to the Louvre to the Palace of Versailles and beyond - she had a wonderful trip and we loved hearing about it.
On to the rest of their visit...

                                   
We did so much while they were here - kinda like a vacation but without leaving home. One of the days we went to the Science Museum...



We went to a movie...


We went downtown and enjoyed Bricktown. Pip wore her new dress...




We had dinner, listened to live music, rode the water taxi twice and got ice cream sundaes. Such fun. I really wished they lived closer but am so glad they visit whenever they can.

    How fun! What a cool way to hand out gifts instead of just the tradition "here you go." I love Pip's dress!
