So Much To Do, So Little Time

(The boys and I with Russ and Marcia last May in Huntington Beach)

My Uncle Russ and Aunt Marcia came from sunny California to visit us for a few days last week. Their visit was so enjoyable and so quick, I had a hard time letting them go back home! They brought their granddaughter, Noe (so darling and so mature!). She was a great playmate to my nieces, a huge help with the twins and a spunky addition to the whole crew. I can't wait until they all come back!

On Thursday we spent the morning in Salt Lake City, visiting Temple Square and eating at the Lion House (ooooh so good). There was a big group of us, but it was fun to see everything there. Living in Utah, we really don't visit Temple Square as often as we should. The girl cousins in the Tabernacle. Aren't they cuties?

Jack paused a moment during our tour to give his cousin, Livvi, a kiss on the cheek. This was easily my favorite picture of the day!

Playing at the fountain on Temple Square. This picture cracks me up because this is a face Jack makes all the time, I'm so glad I captured it in a picture.

My sweet boy, Henry. I heart him, but he was a bit of a pill during this outing. Good thing he's cute and oh so forgivable!

Friday we went to the pool, visited BYU campus and finished off the night with dinner at Gloria's Little Italy (my absolute favorite place for authentic, delicious Italian food). We were in the Venezia Room. We celebrated my and my sisters' birthdays at this dinner, so here we all our with our precious uncle and aunt. Love them!

On our way to the airport Saturday morning. Don't Phil and I look stellar? We just rolled out of bed. I think Marcia and Noe are a vision in this picture.

I think the best part about their visit was that it was still pretty low-key, with lots of time to visit and relax, and yet there was enough on the agenda to keep us entertained (and tired!). I hope this becomes an annual visit because there is still so much left to see and do!
