grandma comes to visit

Grandma Hill came to visit us in January. She stayed for two weeks and the kids loved it. They were completely spoiled. Simon and I were even able to get away for a few days (that is for another post). Here are some of the pictures from her visit.

We went to the zoo. It was actually a really warm winter day for us and turned out to be a great day. Although I totally forgot bears hibernate in winter and my sweet little Auburn was a little upset that there were no brown bears. We made up for it by seeing polar bears instead. Here she is trying to be like a monkey. The funny thing is I didn't even ask her to make that face, it was all on her own.

Conley is watching the rhino.

We went to BMW Welt and they had a motorcyclist doing stunts in the building. The kids like seeing it, but it was a little loud for them.

We went sledding. This is the pre-sledding photo. The pictures didn't really turn out during the sledding, but I think it was our most successful outing so far, no one fell or cried the whole time.

One Sunday afternoon we took some pictures. He is just too cute. Grandma brought him this doggie sweater and he loves it. So much that he gets made when I try to take it off.
