Family Visits Jax!

My brother and his family flew into town this month.  The cousins haven't seen each other since their family flew through SLC and we met them at the airport and took them out to dinner during their long layover.  My kids had school for the 3 days they were in Jax, but the first day they arrived I met them at their hotel and took my oldest niece with me to pick up the kids from school.  

 Here they are - reunited again!

We took the kids to see Christmas lights and they all wore their jammies I got for them for Christmas.

Our little one couldn't make it home before falling asleep

Sissy had a gingerbread house party at school.  I was able to take my niece with me to participate with Kendall.  Mrs. Hatman read the children the story about the Gingerbread Man and taught them the lesson about why teasing isn't a good thing to do to each other.  She really pushed the idea of treating others with kindness and compassion.  

During the gingy party, Mrs. Dill (K's friend's mom) brought her spanish class by to sing us some Christmas carols in Spanish.

One student was absent so my niece got to decorate the extra house instead of just helping Kendall with her house.

 So proud of her completed project!

After making their houses, the kids went outside for snack and K begged for her cousin to stay for snack and recess.

Taking turns on the swings

 K's sweet friend Ava wanted to play with Kendall and her cousin.  

Kendall thought it was awesome that her cousin got to come to school and see where she spends all her time and meet some of her sweet little girlfriends.
