Fantastic February In Phoenix!!!

What a great February! Since Ben, Rachel, & girls
could not come at Christmas, they made a special
trip to visit in February. Amelia loved the groceries
& grocery cart from the doll room.




















Grandpa helped Amelia build a tinker toy buggy
for Lambkins.
















It was fun to see how much Lily had grown & how much
she smiles. Rachel really likes to use her artistic abilities
to co-ordinate outfits & blankets...Can you find Lily???
Or you could play Connect The Dots!
















The visit was a great reason to celebrate birthdays a
little early. Ben enjoyed movies & book certificates &
Rachel & Amelia shared "A Is For Annabelle (and
Amelia)" presents. We found out that Amelia really
likes quantity.
















Ruth wanted a chance to have sister-time together & so
the Nays also came to visit. There was lots of cousin fun
(Emma, Evie, Savannah, Amelia, & Elijah).
















We went to McCormick Railroad Park to make Smith
history with Amelia's first train & carousel rides. Rachel
& Lily had a great time.




















Here's our group ready to go. Amelia had fallen
asleep on the drive to the park but immediately
woke up when she heard the word "train"! This
was one of the highlights of the Phoenix trip for her.

Amelias tries to walk the tracks with dad...who does
have a much longer stride! (I love this picture.)

Tyler & Ruth spoiled us with a special BBQ rib dinner
with all the trimmings. YUM!!! BTW, those shirts look
color co-ordinated!

Savannah enjoyed her new haircut (see the cousins picture)
while Evie & Amelia enjoyed pink rollers for their new do's.

And, my, didn't Lily's hair grow fast while she was here
visiting??? We can't wait for another fun time together!!!
