Aunt Alli's visit

We had a great time with Aunt Alli this weekend. Nora stayed up until 9:30 on Friday night just so that she could be awake to greet Aunt Alli when she got to our car...and then she was out like a light within minutes after pulling out of the airport. The girls spent early Saturday morning introducing Aunt Alli to all of their new games, including the one they made up where they stand at the top of the stairs and look back, upside down. We visited the new playground at the downtown mall for a little while (since it was FREEZING outside!) and in the early afternoon, I slipped out of the house to get my one-hour massage Christmas present from Alli and Gregory. (amazing! thanks Alli!) Despite the cold, we eventually took the girls out for some fresh air; Nora rode her bike while Caroline entertained herself by trying to pick up prickly balls with her mittened hands. Sunday was a quieter day - church and then Marg-Alli catch-up time while the girls napped. We were sad to have to say our goodbyes today ("But I don't want you to go!" Nora protested), but know we will see each other again before we know it. The day ended well with a visit from Taylor; she and Nora pretended to visit the North Pole in their box-spaceships, while Caroline played with Legos. ?!?!?! (note the warm hats because it's cold at the North Pole)
