Nana's visit

Grandma Sally came to visit this past weekend and we decided she would change her name. From here forward, she'd be Nana to Cupcake and any other grandkids she may have one day. Nana is a word Cupcake can say now so it was an added benefit.

We had a great weekend. We started with a tea party in the front yard, enjoyed meals, I made a carrot cake with local carrots from scratch, saw Chris play soccer, went to the farmers market, had lunch on the lake, made pizzas from scratch, went swimming, worked in the garden, and went to church together. Nana brought Cupcake all kinds of neat treats including a lawn mower and a dress with her initials monogrammed on it. One of the weekend's highlights was Cupcake's first ice cream cone.

Sheez! By the last stream of posts I am sure you think I am a junk food Mom. However, these really are exceptions and that's what makes it cute. Saturday afternoon we were playing with Cupcake when we heard the familiar tune of the ice cream truck. We waved down the driver and Nana treated us to ice cream. Cupcake however decided that Nana's looked more interesting. Here she is with Nana and her FIRST ICE CREAM CONE!!! I think it's safe to say she liked it.

I didn't take as many pictures as I should have this weekend. We were really having too much fun to stop and take a picture so we'll have to just remember. It is so sweet to see Cupcake enjoy her time with Nana. Chris and I even got to run an errand without strapping someone into the car seat. It was a wonderful weekend and we look forward to when Nana will come again!
