An Edited Link Visit

When our BFFs moved earlier this summer, we decided that we would find a way to see each other at least once a month. Although it has technically happened so far in some fashion, our last two attempts have been thwarted a bit by sickness. At Thanksgiving, we planned a quick Massey-Link get together and were sad to have to cancel when Greer came down with a fever the night before. We weren't too worried though, knowing our big 4day hangout was coming in December. Instead the sickies hit poor Mads and 4days turned into an overnighter. Enough to get us by I suppose, but it went by way too fast!

The big kids!

First time Sam and Garner meet! He stayed in Gville when the other 3 came to meet Garner in November.
They hit it off immediately. :)

"P-pays where the feet attach!" (Aka footed pajamas :))

We had a great time making gingerbread cookies...

Matt made an army captain

.

And B made a baseball player

.

Nice work, daddies!

. I'm so frustrated that these pictures won't turn the right way! These are all the kids' cookies and I love how they represent them well :). Tilt a little too the right and check 'em out...

.

Madi's prince and princess...pretty and neat.

.

Gehrig's football player (AJ Greeeeeeen!!!) and his other guy with patterned gum drops.

And Greer's freestyle...the more candy decorations, the better!

A more finished AJ...

All in all the cookies were a fun alternative to putting together a gingerbread house with our limited time...and fun to see everyone's personalities in their works of art too :).

Next, the kids opened their presents. Greer got princess dominoes and has already worn them out playing with them so much!

Gehrig got cool Melissa & Doug wooden painting projects. He has already finished the color-by-number and loved it so much that we have gone looking for more!

And thankfully, Mads thinks "homework" is a fun Christmas present...we love these A Reason for Handwriting workbooks!

Sweet kiddos

And Garner and Sam were just happy to have each other :)

We were sad to see them go and so ready for more time again soon...a couple of Greer's pics from the morning to send us out...

Love y'all!!
