Playing With Our Cousins

We have had so much fun with all of our cousins in the last few weeks. We love having Sagey and Brandy living in Utah. It is a dream come true for me. It almost brings a tear to my eye just thinkin' about it!!
Ready or not here WE come!! Sage loves to play "hide and sink". Madeline needed Brandy and Lily to help her count. One time Grandpa was playing, but didn't know how many kids to look for. He found Ellie, Lily, and Brandy really quick (I think the rustling in the curtains gave them away). Madeline, Christopher, and Sage were better at hiding. After about 15 minutes (or possibly longer) we figured out the older 3 were still hiding. Grandpa asked the kids that were still hiding to raise their hands! We saw three little hands pop up from behind the couch, out from a closet, and under a blanket! It was so funny...they fell for one of Grandpa's tricks.
Grandma reading a story to 6 grand kids. I think there is room on that couch for the other 20 grand kids. Christopher LOVES to read stories with Grandma, and she is patient enough to read with him for HOURS.
The girls l.o.v.e.d Sage's princess computer. Look at that enjoying each other's company while learning!
...and Christopher loved it too.
...oh, and so did puppy Annie. Tim and Kristine had the folks babysit Ellie, but she thought she was going to Grandma's to babysit the puppy. She is such a good helper, always thinking of ways to help other people!

Now how can we get Liza to move to Utah?!?!
