Bainter Invasion

We LOVE it when FAMILY visits. Aunt Rebekah and cousin Piper and Apollo flew over for a visit and we had a super fabulous time. We missed CR (especially Oliver), but hopefully he can come next time!

Piper, Oliver, Violette, Penelepe, Apollo, and Lorenzo

Rebekah and Apollo

Look at these two giggling girls. They had so much fun together. They played like real sisters - loving each other one minute and fighting the next and then loving each other again. The fighting usually was over who could name their animal "Sleeping Beauty". My favorite conversation from the girls was:
Penelepe: Piper be careful on the stairs. They are scary.
Piper: I am big!
Penelepe: Well I have a big head!

BFF

Lorenzo is too cool for school!

Violette also had fun with her cousins too!

Apollo you are too stinking cute!

Happy Valentines! I think these kids have a future with Ace of Cakes.

I'm not sure who won the contest of who could put the most frosting on their cookies? Piper or....

Penelepe? It's a close one.

Oh no the frosting was poisoned!



CR was so sweet and sent Rebekah a dozen roses. They were beautiful and I honestly was shocked how long they lasted. Thanks CR - we love you too!

Story time.

Trampolines are soooooo overrated.
Well needless to say we already miss our cousins. Penelepe has begged almost every hour since they have left to go to St. George so she can see Piper and her animals. We've told Penelepe maybe this summer when its warmer we can go, and then she automatically replies, "it is warmer out!"

Those cousins definitely look related! I had to do a double take to figure out which one was Penelepe:)

Oh I'm so glad you were all able to get together! The kids look so much alike! I can't believe how big they are getting... time goes by too fast, we need to come visit before Oliver goes away to college! Miss you guys!
