Papa Guitar came this last week for a quick visit. He stayed at our house (which is SO fun) for a couple of days.
He played with the kids...
...watched some TV with Portie...
...and he took us out to dinner one night (for some "Utah"-Mex).
We had a little Christmas party with Papa & the Denams at our house.

Papa brought a few gifts :) ...
...and we were excited...
jammies, shoes, boots, clothes, books, some happy kids :)
We had a great dinner (potato soup in bread bowls and salad mmmm!)
Portie, Liam, Chloe, Tristan (Cooper took a nap during dinner)
Time to go...
Liam (being the huntchback-I think)
bye-bye kisses from Papa
We don't get to see Papa for Christmas, so we're so glad he comes out as close to it as he can. We're glad the kids to to see him and give him some little presents too. We had fun with him while he was here. He and I sat up late and just talked Tuesday night and I loved it. We don't really do that a lot, but this time we just kinda talked about stuff and it was precious, and I'll always remember it, and I hope he knows that it meant a lot to me.
Love you, Dad.
In other news...
Chloe and Port went back to school this week after about a 2 week break.
We'd been telling them all weekend that things would be different on Monday and to get ready, so when I woke Chloe up on Monday, so was pretty slow, and she says " here we go, back to our old life. Goodbye new life, hello old life" She was good about it though. She was excited to get back to school to see her friends and her teacher. Same with Port. He got to be snack friend on Tuesday. So he got to bring snacks (Buzz fruit snacks and chocolate milk) and a toy for show and tell. Then on Thursday, they had a special show and tell day for everybody where each kid got to bring a favorite toy to show. He brought his new Buzz wings. He might like Buzz a little :)
