Grandma Andrea, Papa Tom, and Uncle Tyler

Grandma Andrea, Papa Tom and Uncle Tyler came for a visit. They arrived by train on my birthday. We celebrated my birthday together with Trevor that night.

We spent Saturday morning at Firstenburg swimming, then headed to Carols Corner for brunch. That evening we went to the Skyview Ward auction for dinner and cake.

Sunday, Papa, Uncle Tyler, and the boys put together a cardboard spaceship titled Babelship Galactica (the special name came from Russell's prayers a few nights before, when he prayed he could build a space ship and visit Heavenly Father and Jesus). Trevor thought it was the same concept as the tower of Babel.

We went to Kids Club, celebrated Uncle Tyler's upcoming birthday, had a root beer FHE, and Grandma and Grandpa helped with Oobleck at preschool. We are so thankful we got to spend time with Grandma Andrea, Papa Tom and Uncle Tyler.

Way too many candles on my cake...

Big thanks for all the preschool help (Oobleck is quite a mess, but lots of fun).

Tom masterminded a Root Beer taste test for Family Home Evening (Grandma shared a scripture on righteous judgment).

Trevor not only had to pick out his beloved Henry Weinhards blindfolded, but he had to rate each root beer according to flavor. There were nine different root beers and Trevor actually picked Henry's out of the bunch. The boys were pretty funny after the testing because they wanted to use the blindfold and do their own tests. We had floats for our treat.

Thank you Christian and Heather for the cardboard ship Christmas present. The boys love playing in it. One of the best Christmas presents ever.
