Mimi and Papa came to visit! We love visitors and they were definitely our first since moving to Illinois. Of course we had to take them out for donuts at our favorite mom and pop donut place, Carmellas. YUM! I think it's safe to say we all enjoyed our donuts…poor Andy had to work the whole weekend…boo!
Nothing says Welcome to Illinois like a hot donut:)
Amazingly I didn't have a ton of projects planned for when mom and dad came. It was probably a good thing because the weather was cold and rainy. So we spent some time exploring the library, hanging out and doing small improvements around the house...
MC reading some books on her favorite chair in the library
documenting our trip to the library and our 63 book haul!
eating…another thing we do well;)
getting in a little homework after snack
Andy also took us all on a tour around the football facilities
The indoor practice field
players lounge
The stadium
with all the rain and nasty weather, we looked like this for most of the weekend...
Dad and I were able to take off the shutters and paint them black (they were a horrid faded robins egg blue) and also stain our front door.
It was a quick visit but we were so thankful to have them out to visit us! Come back soon!!
