We love Grandmas!!!

We have been SPOILED ROTTEN for the past month having both grandmas here, one right after another. We've had yummy, home-cooked meals, extra hands to hold Brooke, extra eyes and hears to give Katie & McKenna all the attention they need, and extra rest when needed. It really has been amazing and made the transition a lot easier than I anticipated. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Grandma Hopkn was the first to come. She arrived a couple days after Brooke was born and was here for two weeks. She was able to be here for McKenna's birthday which made that day extra special for her. Especially her Ariel cake, which I definitely couldn't have made on my own!
Brooke got lots of love from Grandma,

Katie & McKenna got to paint with Grandma,

and they went to the park almost everyday!


A couple days after Grandma Hopkin left, Grandma Jensen came! She was here for 1 1/2 weeks. (Most of the pictures from her trip are on her camera, but I do have a few). The weather wasn't as nice for Grandma Jensen, so instead of the park we went to a couple playplaces - equally as fun and special for the girls.
We watched General Conference with her and ate yummy cinnamon rolls.
The girls colored temples during one session,

We had moments of nice weather while she was here when the girls were able to play in the backyard. They especially loved lining up the rocks on the fence with Grandma!



(I know this picture is sideways, but I didn't want to upload all the pictures again just to fix this one - SORRY!)
