great graham visit

we were visited by the grahams in the beginning of the new year and we had a great time. we watched movies and talked and here we are playing sorry. 

daniel always wins so i wanted to see if one of us three could beat him.

mrs graham hustled all of us and won. we treated her to a victory run to brusters ice cream!

the thompsons were in kentucky so we all had dinner 

with them and the thomases. 

we had some great visiting time and of course 

sonya and guy had tons of play time. 

it was great for the thompsons and the grahams to spend time together. it is hard to get everyone in one place. 

soon after mr. graham had to go back to virginia, 

but we got to keep mrs. graham for the rest of the week!

here is a belly shot for beth. this is one day when i was getting ready. daniel couldn't believe how big my belly had gotten. our little girl is really showing herself lately :-).

one day we got to eat at max and erma's and go to the half price book store.

mrs. graham got some novels and gifts for friends and daniel and i 

found some books for little one.

daniel has such fond memories of making bon bons with his mom...

and of course 

how yummy they are, so we made some.

it was a really fun process and produced quite a great result.

we all got a turn trying our hand and dipping and finishing them.

my request was that she teach me how to make a basket. she graciously agreed

and brought all of her basket making materials.

she did a great job teaching and supervising, and after 2 days working...

i had a beautiful basket and wonderful memories to accompany it. we had a great time the rest of her visit. we hung out and chatted, read, and watched movies. it was great having her to ourselves in kentucky.  

a visit we will always cherish.
