Gramma Rue's visit

As always Gramma Rue's visit went by way too quickly. She arrived this last Tuesday and stayed through Sunday. Tuesday night was kind of late and we spent it just touring the new basement catching up and then crashing from exhaustion. The next day Josh and I went to work, and Kenna was really surprised to see that Gramma Rue had been sleeping downstairs! The played all day while I worked and we just had fun at night. The same thing happened Thursday, but I did get to sneak home a little early.

Friday we went shopping in the morning picking out baby gifts for our little boy. Gramma got him a baby monitor for Christmas and a few really cute jammies. Then, we went to lunch at Mojos, one of my favorite little cafes. They use only fresh local ingredients, so you always see a new menu, and it is always good! Kenna was definitely ready for nap when we got home. So, mom and I layed around, watched TV and chatted. After lunch we got groceries and there was more playing and goofing around that night.

Saturday we decorated for Christmas while Josh helped Denny build a fence around their new propane tank. Then we went to dinner at a new place called Biaggi's. VERY yummy italian!

Sunday Gramma Rue had to leave in the morning :( We are still trying to get her to buy a little townhouse in Ankeny so she can just live here in the spring and fall...unsuccessful at this point, but we are persistent! Thanks for coming to visit Gramma Rue! We loved seeing you and can't wait till march when you come for two weeks!
