My Mom just left after being here for a week. We had so much fun. The kids always love it when people come to visit and Grandma spoiled all of us. We didn't do a whole lot in terms of sight seeing or activities but that was fine with us. We mostly stayed around home and played. We did the obligatory duck feeding and went out to lunch almost every day. Tony and I got in two great dates: one monster long date to the temple and dinner (it takes us almost an hour to get to the temple) and one to watch a movie (we saw the new Indiana Jones movie and sad to say but neither of us liked it. Guess we're nostalgic for the old Indiana Jones movies).I don't know who will miss her more, the kids or adults. I am going to miss all the help she gave with the kiddos, stimulating adult conversation at any time of day and just having her here. Tony is for sure going to miss giving her a hard time and her cooking. I've tried again and again but I cannot make her lasagna (which he loves). 
Tae is going to miss the countless hours Grandma listened to her read. I don't know what it is about Grandma's but they the patience of a saint.
Aliya will miss having Grandma play Polly's and Barbies. That kid can be so happy and nice, especially when she is getting 100% of someones attention. 
Lastly, Blake is going to miss having someone to protect him from his sissies. He got spoiled rotten by always being held and loved. Guess it'll take all my kids a couple days to get used to not being played with or listened to. They'll survive though, they always do. Thanks for a terrific visit Mom!

Cute and fun pictures! We want grandma to come back (actually they all want to "go to grandma's house", but little do they know that daddy's not up for that this year. I'm glad you got some pics of grandma looking at the camera :) She tries to avoid it with all her might! Glad you got a temple trip in... that always makes it worth it too!
Tami, you are a FaNtAsTiC cook, Tony is lucky to have you! Good luck with the adjustment- too true, there is something nice about another adult around to help out and converse with!
