Family Time Before Graduation

 The day before graduation, Jessi's and Jill's family arrived along with Gale and Kris from Iowa - they had booked the rental through VRBO which is right across our back property - we can see the house from ours through the trees!!

Jessi got here first with Gwyn and Kenzie - Gary and Evan were on a motorcycle trip and arrived that evening.  I had Gwyn's birthday present to give her so they stopped here for a while so she could open her present!

I think she was surprised!!

Gwyn is into the jellycat soft stuffed animals!!  And Jessi had told me she really wanted this elephant so that's what we got her and she was certainly happy with it!

We visited for awhile and then I went over with her to the house to help unload and check the house out - it is really suited well with 4 bedrooms and 2 living room areas!  And of course beautiful views of Pikes Peak so all were happy with the house!

Kylan was over working on Irene's car (with Papa's help) and he had the dirtiest hands I think I've seen!

Gwyn brought a friend with her (being the youngest she NEVER has anyone to hang out with) so Jessi told her she could bring a friend!!  But since there were only so many beds in the rental, they asked if they could stay here so I had Gwyn and Jasmine for the next 4 nights!
