Grandma and Grandpa couldn't stay away :)

There's nothing like a fun weekend with Grandma and Grandpa to cure the winter blues! Gary and Sylvia came up for an extended weekend to see us (okay, we all know they just came to see Elsie), and we loved it. We didn't do anything extraordinary, but still had a great time being together.

Elsie's birthday balloons were still full of air and were her favorite activity of the weekend. She chased them, hit them, kicked them, colored on them...you name it. Grandma joined in on the fun, too (not that she had much of a choice).

Grandma and Grandpa bought Elsie a piggy bank, some cute striped leg warmers, and this adorable purple skirt for her birthday. Elsie was being a bit shy...who am I kidding?! Elsie was a being a stinker about putting the skirt on, but we finally got her to do some twirls to show it off.
