Alaina and Ruby spend the night

Alaina and Ruby came to spend the night Friday night.  Here's a few pictures of our time.

 Here they are with Bob, looking at some old photos of their mom when she was young.  They loved seeing them, and then had their usual snack of cheese and crackers.  It's funny how they like the same thing every time!



 Both girls love playing with this Newtons Cradle toy.  I've untangled those ball more often than you would imagine!



Ruby, all snuggled up watching a movie.



Saturday morning, Bob was planning to leave fairly early in the morning to meet Aaron and do some work at his sisters house.  He was quietly trying to get up and get out of the house, but Alaina woke up and was very set on going with him.  She knew her Dad was also going and she likes to see their dogs.  So Bob agreed to have her come along.  Ruby was ok with staying with me and we waved good bye to them.


Here's the cute message she left for me.  The little drawings on the bottom are donut holes.  :)


Ruby and I had breakfast and then she went to her room to get dressed.

 When I checked her, she was making her bed - not easy when it's the top bunk!



 Ruby and I had fun making some paper snowflakes.






The finished snowflakes.


Because we were having a winter storm and lots of ice was predicted, I took Ruby home earlier than usual.
We had a good drive home and I enjoyed talking to her by herself.  We saw a bunch of birds and she wondered if they were flying south. I told her they were birds that stayed here all winter.  She said God must give them extra feathers to stay warm in the cold!  We talked about how amazing God is that he made everything different and she said God really loves us, right?   She makes me smile.


It was good I brought her home when I did, because by the time I got back home our pathway gate was looking like this.


Bob came home mid-afternoon, I was happy to see him home safely, and we stayed in for the rest of the day.

  5. I think it is so sweet that they enjoy spending time with y'all and they are so cute and growing so fast. My grandmother used to tell me she was going to put a book on my head to keep me from growing up so fast! lol Have a great new week.

  11. I just love when the grands come to visit and I particularly love when we get to have each one alone. Your granddaughters are adorable I loved Alaina's note... so sweet. I love snow but I sure could do without the ice that we've been getting... betting you feel the same way! Stay safe and warm!
