My Visit with Colleen

I have been looking forward to my childhood friend, Colleen, coming to visit since June.  We grew up together and have been friends since 4th grade.  I am so blessed to have stayed such good friends with her all these years and we are enjoying going through this life stage of mommy hood together.  She has two precious kids, Norrie, 2, and Will, almost 1.  Her mom, Noreen also came too, to visit friends.  Colleen and Noreen are currently living in Buffalo, so they were excited for the much warmer weather.

 We spent a lot of time playing watching cartoons and playing inside.  Will was sick for most of the trip, so we took it pretty easy.  

Friday- we had our family pictures taken.  Here is a shot of the girls before we left.  

Saturday- was a chilly day and we spent most of the day indoors to keep warm.  Our friend, Jill and her  two kids, Avery and Greyson, came from Tucson to spend the weekend with Colleen.  We had a full house, but it was so much fun!  The kids all played together and we had a lot of Mexican food and margaritas.  Good times.

 Sunday- was a another cooler day.  I bundled the girls up in sweaters and boots and we headed to church, for service, lunch and playing outside.

The day was fun, but a little chaotic with 9 kids under the age of 7, so Colleen and I enjoyed the end of the day with some wine. 

Monday- we packed up the kids, a lunch and headed to the zoo.  I was worried it would be too crowded, but it was a perfect day to be there.  The weather was incredible and it was a great time being there with all of our friends. 

Tuesday- was their last day here.  Colleen and Noreen packed up and the kids played.  The time went by too quickly, but I know we will see each other again soon.  Hopefully in February.  I also hope to plan a trip to Buffalo in the near future.
