The Dixon Family Came to Town

If you read my siblings blogs, you'll realize that like most of our past posts, this blog is about a month behind normal time...so...a month ago, my older brother Bren, his wife Elise and their two kids Brenna and Eli came to visit from Ohio. It was great to see them. Ryan made some Penne Pasta, salad and rolls for dinner which were all very tasty.

We had increased our toy collection from just a horse name Glad to the horse, a pink pompom and a bunch of boxes inside each other (we thought those were just a decoration, but found they were actually a good toy too). Brenna is just full of personalities, and we got a somewhat honory one that day. She was just a little on the tired side. The funny thing was that when Ryan pulled out my big TV pillow and turned on the Care Bears movie (we get it free through Comcast's free movies), Brenna plopped down just feet from the TV and was glued to it. She watched the whole show, which ended right when they needed to leave and even shed a few tears at the end.
We came up with a pretty good idea...all the married siblings should ditch their kids with our parents in Washington and then go on vacation. I even talked to Mom and she said to just let her know when....just something to keep in mind. We loved having them visit. Here are the pictures of us all together:
