Dinner at Grandparents House!

Steve was out of town fishing the PAA event this weekend.

My sister Amy and niece Catherine

came down from TN for a visit.

We all gathered Saturday night at grandpa and grandma's

for a fabulous dinner(roast and veggies)

and

dessert

(layers chocolate cake, ice cream, whip cream, fresh cut strawberries on top)!

Sophia with grandpa...making sure he's ok.

They had a fake snoring contest.
Helping grandpa off the floor.

Only to move him over for the "bodyslam"!
Yes, Steve taught her this move...

he's so proud.

Getting some air for the pounce...

SLAM!

She loves to do it too..

Looking at the cheering crowd on the sofa.

Hugs for Cousin Catherine.
Poor Catherine had to put up with
so many hugs and kisses this weekend!
Sophia loves her.

Loves her enough for
the bodyslam too!

My brown eyed girl...was wound up!

Grandma shares all her cool toys during visits.
Here she is showing them a stein from German.
It has a music box inside and a dancing fraulein
in a recessed stage on the front.
As you can see the girls were fascinated.
Grandmas always have the coolest toys...

Hug for Uncle Mark...
he was smart enough to stay off
the floor and avoided the tackles of Soso.

Girls playing with Aunt Amy

"Ring Around the Rosie"
(the REAL version...
people die and fall over.
Not the PC stuff that is being passed off
these days.)

(Also, Soso sits "Indian style"...

not "criss-cross applesauce"

get over it.)

London Bridge falling down on Sophia!

This was another funny for the night.
Sophia had been body slamming everyone.
When I shouted out,
"Catherine bodyslam Sophia!"
Sophia stood up and protested the idea.

She very clearly said, "NOOOOO!".
I love the face that she made...
she was queen of the hill and not yielding!

All had a wonderful night.

Thank you mom and dad for having us over.

I'm sure your ears are still ringing!

We had a blast.
