Ben's mom, Gloria, and stepdad, Greg, came down to visite-nous after Christmas. We exchanged belated gifts, which was fun.
We had gotten Glo some pearls at the pearl market in Beijing:
Glo gave Gage some Cars Squinkies:
They gave us some silver coins:
And me a very cozy and cute shirt:
Sadie got these thingeys where you make your own bracelet:
And they gave Dylie a lego set, which he immediately put together (it took him about five seconds):
Micah and Sadie so seldom play well together that I'm sure Ben wanted to document it:
And we got Greg a book he'd been wanting:
We love when they come to visite-nous. In fact, we are going to visite-ils in one month! Road trip to Chelan! Ben is going to rendezvous there with us, flying from Beijing to Seattle and then renting a car to drive there. His sweet, fun aunt, Myrna, and I are going to tackle the 12-hour drive up to Chelan by ourselves. Yikes. Bikes. But Chelan in the summer is heaven. There's a gorgeous lake, surrounded by rolling hills of apple orchards - it's gorgeous. And really fun. And the best part of all will be seeing the in-laws and the Benner.
I love it when parents come to visit. That's nice that they came soon after Christmas!:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Belated gifts are the best, and it looks like everyone ended up with something great.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the marathon drive. I'm sure you will make a bunch of fun mother-kidlet memories. And seeing Ben will be the icing on the vacation cake!
