Thanksgiving Visit

Jamie's mom and dad came for a week and a half to visit over Thanksgiving. We had such a great time! The dinner was amazing, and we had left overs for days after (which I love). The girls used their table setting skills and decorated us a beautiful table with name tags and all.
After the feast we all played games and hung our until dessert when the Stanley's brought over a German Chocolate cake to eat along with our apple, peanut butter and of course pumpkin pies!
After Thanksgiving we kept busy with tons of projects around the house. It was so great. Georgia was like, "Wow Grandmom and Granddad you guys know how to make everything!" And they really can they are very handy and creative. Thanks so much the place looks great.
Dad hung some beautiful shades in our kitchen. I also found all these little projects he took on without me knowing like fixing the shelf in a closet, fixing a missing door knob, touching up ceiling paint...
Mom brought the cutest material for quilt tops. Then she took the girls to JoAnns and let them pick out the softest backing and taught them how to make a quilt they turned out so adorable!
Ava loved playing toys with Granddad!
More Games!
Of course they hit the trails
And we took a day trip up to the Red Rocks.



We even got out the Christms tree and lights.
The next project recovering our dining room chairs!

And finally Ava's curtains.
Thanks for coming to visit we can't wait to see you again soon!

Um, can they come and visit me next time instead? Maybe I could just borrow them for a day or 2. They are amazing!!! I can't believe all that you did in the time they were here.
