This past weekend, Brandon's two Aunt's (Aunt Rose & Tia Bev) came down for a visit and to meet Miss Autumn for the first time. They came in late Thursday evening and left early Sunday morning. It was such a treat to have them here and spend some quality time with us and the kids. Owen took no time at all warming up to them and had them running around playing in no time. Autumn on the other hand has some major stranger anxiety right now that we are trying to work on. Apparently Brandon was the same way as a baby so I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Autumn loved them as long as I was present but the second I left her sight she would start screaming. It isn't just them either, its basically anyone that is not Mommy or Daddy. Since Owen was never a snugly baby, I prayed that my next child would be; well I got my wish x100. She wants to be in my arms 24/7. O well I guess it could be worse. Right? Anyway the weekend was awesome. Friday we spent the day just hanging out. That night, Brandon's Aunts took the two of us out to a nice dinner at Outback while my Dad and Sister came over and watched the kids. I mean, listened to Autumn scream for an hour and a half while Owen played on the computer while they tried dealing with my traumatized daughter. Saturday night I made a delicious dinner, Spinach Manicotti with salad and garlic bread and we had a mini early Birthday celebration for Brandon. Here are a few pictures from our time together.

On Saturday, Aunt Bev brought Owen a special treat, a lunch bag full of gummy candies that look like food. It had Pizza, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French Fries and Coke. It was so funny and Owen got a huge kick out of it. Thanks Tia Bev.
Here he is showing off his snack. Gummy Pizza & Coke.
Aunt Rose never comes for a visit with out bringing some goodies for the kids. Owen scored this adorable Mickey Mouse T-Shirt that says, "Mr. Perfect" on it. So fitting since Owen is a major perfectionist. Thanks Aunt Rose.
And Autumn was also lucky and got some adorable PJs that say "Baby's First Valentines Day" on them. She looks great in them. Thanks Aunt Rose.
On Saturday it was a beautiful winter afternoon, just a slight breeze, so we took advantage of the weather, bundled the kids up and went out for a nice walk around the neighborhood.

Autumn didn't make a peep the entire walk. I think she enjoyed the fresh air. This is what she did the whole time, didn't move once.
Here is Tia Bev pushing Owen on his tricycle.
Here is a close up of Owen on his bike.
Saturday evening before Daddy got home from work, Tia Bev and Owen put on some 70's music and had a dance party. They were hilarious!
More dancing.
Having a ball!
After dinner, Brandon got to open his presents from his Aunt's. Of course Owen was a big help in the opening department.
Owen looks so excited about Daddy's new shirt. Lol.
And right before bed Owen wanted to do some underwear modeling for his Aunties. Here he is showing off his muscles! He is too funny.

Glad you had a great time with the GREAT-Aunties! Reminds me of another little boy who loved to spend time with his aunts!
