Grandma Comes!

Grandma Michael made the trek out to visit us for ten days this past week! With that came terrible weather though which changed a few plans. We had a good time running in and out of the ran and wearing big rain coats and umbrellas. Addison was pretty happy to have another live in play mate who she got to boss around and give her extra long baths. We celebrated Addison's birthday with cupcakes that she helped me make after we picked up Sharon from the airport. Addison was really good at holding the mixer and managed to get a lot of licks of batter! We let her open up the presents from Dave and I after dinner of homemade pizza (one of her favorites). She was most excited about her very own princess band-aids. She got to do with them as she pleased and most of them ended up and down my arms. She also really liked her new baby carrier backpack. We have a hard time getting it off of her sometimes;) A set of princess little people and new tennis shoes we among the loot as well. I would say she had been a pretty good girl this past year! Dave had clinical while Sharon was here so we ran around mostly without him. We went to the park( o n the only nice day!), Explore and More Museum, the mall play place, went strawberry picking, did a little bit of shopping and a whole lot of playing at home. I had a few doctor's appointments that it was nice to leave Addison home for. Once the weekend hit Dave and I got to go to the temple and it was really nice to not worry about paying a babysitter. I randomly got sick Saturday night and stayed home from church. Later we all loaded up and went to Toronto for a few days...which it also rained there the whole time too (bad luck). The highlight of the trip for Addison was swimming after dinner in the big pool. Grandma Michael gave her a floatie for the pool that she was pretty excited to wear. We went to Casa Loma, an indoor kiddie amusement park and toured around the city. We got to eat out a few times and I even managed to find my favorite cannoli ice cream at The Silo. We had a great visit!
