Visit with Grandma and Papa!

So we just recently returned from a month-long trip to visit Grandma and Papa in Illinois - we had lots of fun and got lots of hugs and kisses, not to mention some yummy desserts!! Our 1st birthday was the day after we arrived (those pictures coming soon) and we certainly take after mommy when it comes to love of chocolate!

Kayla, being the little monkey that she is (we'll have to get some video of her making the monkey noise - she does it, I swear!), loved climbing in between the legs of Grandma's kitchen table. At one point, she slipped her head through the metal bars and got stuck... but it didn't stop her from trying again!


Some friends from church sent a birthday gift, but the girls are having more fun with the tissue paper than with the books they were given!


Kayla says that is SO hilarious!


Though they were a bit shy the first day or two, the girls quickly warmed up to Grandma...


...and Papa!


Looking for Santa - not yet, girls!

Who needs a turkey on Thanksgiving? We can have roast Kayla! She's sitting in there like Daffy duck taking a bath before he realizes he's intended to be the meal!


Makenna is reading the cooking instructions..


Yeah, I'm a comedian!
