Nonnie’s Visit

My mom came to visit last weekend and had a great time. The photo above is my favorite of the weekend. Nadia was watching Nonnie pack for the trip home and then needed to bring her bags too. This was right before we got in the car to go to the airport. When my mom arrived on Friday it was a play fest for her and Nadia. For dinner we headed to Pappasito’s (of course) and then a little more play time before bed.

On Saturday we headed for Central Market for my mom to buy supplies to make homemade marinara. YUM! It was awesome and our spaghetti and meatball dinner fueled us up for the trick or treating that night. The play continued on Sunday and I think that they found every “little people” in the house.

We also did arts and crafts on Sunday.

Nadia took every opportunity to play with Nonnie and even jumped on her which was quite a surprise 🙂

I am so glad that my mom had a chance to come out and spend the weekend with us.

Halloween 2009

Nadia LOVED the fire breathing dragon we saw on the Boardwalk in Myrtle Beach and so when the time came to pick a costume, she was all about the dragon. She has been wearing it several times a week for the last 2 months since we bought it. She has also perfected her dragon roar and fire breathing.

Our friends Tricia and David hosted a Halloween party for tots again this year. My mom was visiting for the weekend and joined us for the trick or treating. The group photo of the kids didn’t turn into a meltdown filled with tears so us mom’s felt great success. Now trying to get them to stay still was another story. Here was the best shot I got and we are missing sweet Elliott.
