January Visitors

As I mentioned before, Grandma and Grandpa Brandt came for a visit in January. They were here a week, and then my Mom stayed two more weeks to help us out.

Grandpa taking a little snooze along with Piper (I tried to sneak up on him, but he still heard me coming.)

Grandma got to read LOTS of books while she was here. Lila likes to read different books, but Wyatt is at the age where he wants to read the same one over and over. His current favorite is a Mickey Mouse book he received at Christmas.

One night, Ben took Lila to AWANA, so Wyatt got Grandpa and Grandma all to himself. He really enjoys doing puzzles. He also really likes dumping all the pieces on the floor! But, if he is in the mood to put it together, he sticks with it and does a great job.

On our anniversary, we left the kids at home and went out to dinner (we took Piper along with us). At home, Grandpa made breakfast for dinner, and the kids enjoyed helping him make the eggs!

We were also excited to have my good college friend, Amanda, visit us for a weekend. She stayed with Janina, but we went down and hung out with them one afternoon.

The kids were coloring, and Wyatt kept asking "Panda" to color with him (it was too cute.) By the time she left, he had figured out her name was "Manda" :)

One night we decided to make pizza for supper - and Lila and Wyatt got to help! Here Lila is helping Grandma make the dough (yes, that's right... it was ALL from scratch! Yum!) She also helped make the sauce.

Wyatt helped me grease the pans and then he helped put on the toppings. Here he is saying "No, Mommy, don't take my picture!" Too late!

Yah! Pictures of Amanda. Thanks for sharing those. I think it's really cute that Wyatt was calling her "Panda". You have to go with what you know, I guess. :)
