A Fun Visit

It was so great to have Tammy's family here this weekend. They arrived late Friday night and stayed until Saturday evening. I, unfortunately, had a math class where attendance is 80% of the grade, so I had to spend some time there. I stayed at home as long as I could Saturday morning, came back for lunch, got back there about 10 minutes late, left early (really the class let out a little bit early). I spent the afternoon watching the kids playing outside. They seemed to really love having space to run around and just have fun. Kayden wouldn't let Grandpa out of his sight, and Koy was close behind.
Grandpa said Koy was standing on the kitchen table calling "Sally" which was a bit heart-breaking. Kayden was so cute in the morning when he came into our bedroom. He announced himself with "I'm awake now!" then he climbed into bed with us and just grinned. Soon Lexi was there, along with Koy. Why does everyone like to climb into our bed? It was fun to just snuggle with all of them.
We spent some time watching the last quarter of the BYU game, then they had to leave. Kayden wasn't going to go, but we assured him he would be able to spend some time here in a few weeks. I will bring them all here for the weekend of Thanksgiving since we have the time off and Tammy, Josh, and Nicky all work. They can help us put up our Christmas decorations! That should be fun!
We miss having all the kids here for fun and play. We miss having all of our grandchild around, but we know their parents are doing what they need to be doing right now. Just know that we love and miss you all. We think of you every day, wondering what you are all doing. We pray for you and send you all our love.

I am spending time doing on-line Christmas shopping, so your suggestions are appreciated. Let me know sizes and interests since they all change so much during the year.

Love you all so much!
