Several times a year, Nana likes to set aside a day for the parents of her grandbabies to go out on a date. The littlest babes tag along with the parents and Nana gets to have the olders all.to.herself. A couple of weeks ago, three grandbabies and one nana had a wonderful six hours, accompanied at times by Katie... Nana's youngest child and the beloved auntie to the granndbabies!
The day started off with some block play!
The girls made horse fencing.
MonkeyBoy made a tiger cage!
Next up: Some fun with playmobile and Katie.
The girls were enthralled with MonkeyBoy's storytelling skills!
And being read to is always a favorite thing to do at Nana's!
A bridge through the alligator swamp!!
More snuggly reading time!
After lunch, we decided to go on an outside adventure.
We were curious what the nature path looked like with a few inches of snow!
Nana and her grandbabies!!
Making snow angels!
And.... sled riding!!
We had just gotten inside, changed into dry clothes, and were warming up with some healthy hot cocoa when the parents arrived!
It was a great day!

Aren't grandparents the best? I love when my mom watches my little guy. It looks like the kiddies had fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! My mom was great about making sure we had date nights. However, I think I'm closer to Nana's age than yours ;)
ReplyDeleteBunny and Katie look alike! I didn't know you had a little sister. She's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteKatie, my little sister. is the almost 16 year old in the pics. I have LOTS of younger siblings... when I was eight, my parents adopted a sibling group (who were 8, 6, and 5 at the time) and then when I was 12, they adopted another sibling group from Pittsburgh (who were 9,8, and 4.. which was Katie!)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!! I only miss the snow when I see kids playing in it, and I'm reminded of my own childhood!! Just swinging by from the Monday hop...new follower! Hope to see you stop over to High Heeled Mama sometime soon!!
ReplyDeleteYou Nana is a gem, looks like the kids are having a magical time out there in the snow! We have had a taste of the cold weather this week but sadly no more than a few flakes of snow. I am still hopeful we might manage a snow angle like your children before Spring arrives! Thank you for joining me on Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a great day, I know that my mum loves being a Nana & when her granddaughters come to visit, she loves the 'mess' they create - I think she misses it so mch when they go home & the house is tidy again.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I'm so happy we live closer to family so BabyE can spend lots of time with his Nana and Papa. He absolutely adores them! Thanks for linking up with the Tuesday Baby Link Up!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves the snow too. Great pics. Thanks for linking up at Family Fun Friday! http://happyandblessedhome.com
