A visit from Auntie Trish

Well, my sister Trish arrived late last night for a week of fun with the kids. Our day was SO much fun that I'm totally looking forward to our week together. Of course we had to start the day off dressing the kids in cute matching outfits. Here's the twins in their "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" shirts from Dr. Suess.


We got out of the house for a little shopping, and Trish bought Molly her birthday present. And what did Molly ask for? A Cinderella dress of course. And the day was made even better when we spent the afternoon making chocolate lollipop favors for Molly's birthday party. Molly made sure to sample the melted chocolate for quality control.


One of the most interesting things to me was how much Paige ADORED Trish. Paige typically is extremely shy (read: screaming) with new people. And she was definitely a little shy in the beginning. But in just a couple of hours Trish had completely won her over to the point that Paige preferred being with her than Mommy. I have seriously never seen Paige smile, coo and laugh as much as she did today. I'm actually convinced she loves Auntie Trish more than Mommy! But all that playing definitely wore her out and by the end of the day she literally fell asleep at the dinner table. Too cute!


Tomorrow we're off to San Francisco! Whoo whoo! I'm sure we'll have some great pictures from that trip!
