Aunt JuJu came to visit!

My sister Julie just came for a visit for about 6 days. She just left on Tuesday. We had so much fun while she was here. We always pack each day full, and spend pretty much all day together when she visits. We went shopping, had Travis' bday party, went to a friend's bday party, went to see UP, enjoyed Mom and Loyd's homecooked meals every night, and celebrated Julie's pretend bday party. Yes- in my family we often celebrate pretend holidays. Since my sister lives in NJ and is sometimes a little here and there, we have to be creative sometimes. It really doesn't matter what day it actually is as long as we are together!

Isabella was saying JuJu the whole way to the airport when we went to pick her up. When Julie got in the car, Isabella looked at her and started screaming. Who know what that crazy girl was thinking, but she was mad the whole way home. Well.. she did warm up to Aunt Julie fairly quickly and keeps asking where she is. TRace was very excited for the visit and enjoyed every minute. On Monday night we said goodbye and Trace was BAWLING!!! It was so sad. We came home and he was still crying. He really loves his Aunt. We love you JUJU! Can't wait to see you again in September for your concert!



We went to see "UP" in 3D while she was here!

Julie wanted to cook for us one night while she was here. Julie was working hard in the kitchen all day. She was showing off some of her new cooking skills!

MMM personalized potpies! They were so yummy! She also made a delicious salad!

30 presents for Aunt Julie! Mom goes a little overboard, but in a good way!
