We had a great time when Brett's Dad and Step Mom came to visit for a few days between Christmas and New Year's. Grampa is showing off part of his Christmas gift which was an oversize universal remote control. The kids thought it was the funniest thing they've ever seen, especially since they are of the generation where everything is so small. They never saw our cell phones that were as big as bricks.
Cade is the Lego maniac. He got a lot of Legos for Christmas and he spent many hours putting the sets together. Grampa spent 2 or so days with Cade putting together the Batman set Santa gave him. I'm not sure who had more fun, Grampa or Cade.
Maddi and Texas Grammy were scrapbooking machines. Maddi would barely let her rest and then beg to scrapbook some more. 
While Grampa and Texas Grammy were here we got some snow. Grammy helped us make some snowmen while Grampa stayed in and worked on the Batman Lego set. This was Cade's snowman.

Texas Grammy found a recipe online for snow ice cream. We put lots of caramel, hot fudge and strawberries to try and mask the flavor. I didn't have the right ingredients and we tried substitutions and let's just say that neither of the kids ate theirs even with all the junk on it.
Trying to get a group picture with the kids and grandparents and Cade was not exactly cooperating so they tried tickling to get a smile. What a fun visit! The kids were very sad to see them go.
Maddi and Cade took a break from playing with the completed Batman set for a picture. Cade would get frustrated with Maddi because she doesn't know the story of Batman and wouldn't do things just right. At least she was playing with him and was actually really into Batman.This is what Dads are for! You wont find me out there pulling them around on sleds. Dads are just so much more fun!
