At the beginning of March (hooray for finally blogging about activities in the current month!), we were blessed by a visit from Grandpa and Grandma. They drove down from Minnesota to help celebrate Adley and cousin Isaiah's March birthdays and to spend time with each of their Texas kids. Our home was Grandpa and Grandma's first stop. The day that they arrived was Grandpa's birthday, so we had the Schleicher clan over for dinner that night to celebrate.
Jason creatively used our leftover birthday candles to come up with a math problem that displayed Grandpa's age on the cake (a yummy, moist carrot cake that Kim had made).
Of course, all the boys like to crowd around at every birthday gathering to help blow out the candles. This usually ends with some boy complaining that he didn't get a chance to blow, so usually we re-light and re-blow out the candles several times.
Adley and cousin Noah had their own birthday cake to play with. :)
After dinner, we had a little time to play outside, and then Grandpa opened his birthday presents. We loved being able to celebrate with Grandpa this year!
During their 4-day stay at our home, Grandpa and Grandma were so helpful-- watching Jaden and Cody while Mommy, Daddy, and Adley attended a wedding; mowing the lawn and doing other yardwork; constantly keeping our kitchen counter free of dirty dishes; and helping us prepare for Adley's birthday celebration. We loved having Grandpa and Grandma here to participate in a number of special events (yet to come on the blog!). They also got some focused playtime with Adley while Jaden and Cody were in school.
Thanks so much for your visit, Grandpa and Grandma! We always enjoy our time with you! Our whole family loves you bunches!
