A Visit to Grandma Martha - The Pool

The hotel we stayed at had a pool that was great for kids like us and our cousins. I took these pictures while we played.

My Birthday!

It was my birthday and some of my cousins, my grandparents, and my aunt and uncle came to party!

Ben and Cameron set up a water wonderland in our backyard!






My brothers tried to get Mommy in the pool, but she wasn't having it.


After a nap, we had a Minnie Mouse themed party!

Cousin Time

We spent some time with the Bierstedts to celebrate Christmas. Here's a picture of us where Dad was able to get most of us to look and most of us to smile.

A Visit from Our Cousins

Some of our cousins came to visit this weekend. Emmitt, Maisey and Hayden stayed with us for the weekend.


The boys spent a lot of time building LEGO creations.


We eventually built this tower.


The younger ladies mostly climbed on one another.


In the end, the Vikings won, so Emmitt was happy.



Love,
Ainsley, Ben and Cameron

Emmitt's Birthday Party

You might recall that our cousin Emmitt came to the United States a few days before his 1st birthday. Aunt Michelle and Uncle Jayson decided to wait to have his birthday party until this weekend.

Here are some cute pictures of Emmitt before the party.



Here he is in his party attire.


Here he is going to town on his cake.


Here is Emmitt opening presents.
