Happy birthday Gigi!!

Gigi came to town on her birthday- for a little visit and to help me fly back to El Paso with the boys.

She came to meet us at LJ's swim class, but LJ didn't see her until we went by the pool at the end of his lesson (the teacher always does a quick little summary of each kid's progress at the end of class). LJ was SO EXCITED and surprised to his Gigi come in!! It was really cute!


Wouldn't let her out of his sight!


After swim, we did our usual Jason's Deli dinner run...LJ was still so excited!


Evan and Kate enjoying sharing their finger foods at the end of the table!


Then home - LJ gave Gigi her birthday card and gift...


And insisted on opening it for her!


Evan was excited to watch!


And tear up the tissue paper!


On wednesday, we ran a few errands before naps/ our flight to El Paso that afternoon...





Our grocery store gives little fake dollars to kids to put into machine on the way out, and usually they just win point- stickers (and you need like 100 to win something) But LJ was an instant winner for the second time this week! I think I was more excited than he was!





Then we had a very stressful moment at the airport- it was SO CROWDED! After standing in the bag check line forever, we almost missed our flight- last ones on the plane! We got seats together though (thanks to helpful airline attendant!). And then Evan, usually the most laid back and 'chill' little guy ever, decided to really come out of his shell on the flight! He was loud, grabbing everything, pulling on the seat in front of us, stealing LJs markers... crazy!! And Lj was more difficult than usual too- kept wanting out of his seat! Don't know how I would have survived the flight without Gigi (thanks again so very much Gigi!!)!


But we made it- and now we are traveling for the week- celebrating Gigi's birthday more and visiting family and friends here!
