Family Dinner

Seth's parents came for a visit this past week and we were soooo excited to have them over for dinner.  

A really sweet friend of mine, Nicole, brought over some lasagna from a nice restaurant here in town (she didn't get around to bringing food when Olive was born), the timing worked out perfectly, because the food was very yummy and there was enough of it to feed everyone :)

Miss Olive had pink eye so I was keeping her away from everyone (as much as possible) all day

In preparation for the meal, I asked Uncle Thad if we should make some dessert (I was thinking cookies or something simple), he replied back with, "How about we make some butterscotch birds' nests"

Love it! 

Stevie Joy loved them, because 1-the reminded her of Angry Birds' bird nests and 2-she danced in a bird's nest for her dance class and 3-they were YUMMY!

another shot of the bird nests (yogurt raisins inside), they were really good (you make them with chow mein noodles, super cool)

Neela was a "gymnast/animal doctor" for the family dinner :)

Since the whole family was together, we thought this would be a good time to do our "song" for Uncle Thad (who is moving soon, sad face)

The kids and I made these little card board signs for them to hold during the song to help them with the words

It was cute and fun :)

The dinner went great and the kids LOVED seeing their Mamaw and Paw.  I wanted so badly to get a picture of both of them holding all of their grandbabies, but we decided to do it at the recital when everyone would be dressed up, and well it didn't happen, oh well, maybe next time ;)

We were happy to have them here and hope they come back again soon.
