Grandma Hawley

GRANDMA HAWLEY came to visit!!! Hooray!

As I'm sure you can guess, the girls were beyond excited. Living in Kentucky means we don't see everyone quite as much as we used to, but it also means that when we do get visitors, it's that much more exciting! Most of the time, the girls like hanging out with me - I'm asked, or begged is probably a better word, to come and play, but with grandma around I'm definitely second fiddle. In fact, I tried to go into the playroom and join the fun and was summarily told by Sophie that they didn't need me because grandma was there. Then later that day we were out playing when Sophie took a little fall and started crying - well she flew right by me and into grandma's arms! What a silly girl - mom is good, but grandma is better! Ha ha.





One of our many conference activities. Bella was so excited to color this "string of prophets." The things we do to get them involved in Conference!



Since we couldn't get conference on the TV, we all huddled around the computer screen to watch. Notice the picture of President Monson sitting in front of Bella - she took it upon herself to find the picture of each speaker and set it up so that we'd all know who it was. She was pretty proud of her contribution!



If only they could have sat like this for all of the sessions - looking forward to reading the talks we missed when my angels weren't being quite so angelic.



As with most Grandma Hawley visits, we had a project to complete while she was here. Ever since we moved Sophie into a big girl bed and into Bella's room, I've been looking for a bedskirt for her bed. You'd think it would be easy to find an affordable, attractive bedskirt to match their bedding - yeah, not so much. After looking high and low, and having no success, I asked Grandma about making a couple of bedskirts. Even though it turned out to be quite the project, when we were all finished, they looked great! Thanks Shelly!



Not a novel sight in our house - princesses fluttering about. I love my girls - they are so cute!

Thanks for the great time Grandma! We're looking forward to seeing you again in a few months!
