Fantastic Weekend

This past weekend brought my sister and two of her daughters and one granddaughter here for a fun visit! Her daughter Kari (who was here 2 weekends ago with her family) stayed home with the swine flu. The entire family came down with it shortly after their visit here. Jodi also elected to not make the trip from Oregon. Along with my DIL Bethany and friend Krystle, we all busily crafted Christmas cards, tags and gift boxes.

..... my boys, Ryan and Scott, joined us for dinners and some visiting-with-cousins time! And yes, that is Scott you see helping Lela finish a project! Ryan even made a couple of cool items :-)

The star of the weekend was, of course, baby Megan, whose adoption was finalized in the courts on Friday! She is 6 months old now, but Lela and her husband were able to be there for her birth as well as take her home from the hospital!

She has cute little ladybug pajama feet, and the smallest pair of mittens I have ever seen!

There was plenty of time for hugging and kissing on her, as well as enjoying apple cider with some of that delicious pumpkin biscotti :-)

Thanks to all of you for making it a wonderful weekend! That includes my terrific husband who made some fantastic meals for us, and did all of the KP duty to boot!

Looks like a lot of fun!
...also, Molly looks like me from a distance, so I almost thought that I had been there, too, in one of the pictures...
