They came into town on Thursday night, but visited with some other friends before coming over. We were in bed when they arrived at our place. We were all so excited to see them in the morning!! The kids were almost bursting with excitement and they were making tons of noise that I was sure they had woken them up.
We had a relaxing breakfast together that morning. Jeff was at work, so he didn't get to see them until the afternoon. We hung around the house and the backyard and then Malcolm and Kirsten took the girls to the park and I stayed home to put Marty down for his nap.
It had been close to a year since the kids had seen Malcolm(Kirsten came by herself in August) and they warmed up to him very quickly! They had him read books to them almost instantly...so cute!
We had dinner together that night and once the kids were in bed we played some games...although Jeff did go to bed early as he got up to go swimming at 7am the next morning.
On Saturday, Kirsten and I ventured out to Value Village and Homesense! A few of my favorite stores:) We had a great time just being together. I love that even though it had been 1/2 a year since we'd seen each other, it's like no time has passed. It's just so comfortable.
Our family had a birthday party to go to that evening, so Kirsten and Malcolm went to my parents place for dinner. But, I gave them a strict curfew to be home by 7pm...so we could still spend the evening together!! We played some more games and just visited.
Kirsten and I talk a lot about hair and hair products. We have similar hair, so we are always throwing out different techniques and ideas. Malcolm was sitting with us during one of those conversations and I'm sure he was thrilled to hear us talk about hair for probably 1/2 hour!! He is such a patient man:)
They headed home early Sunday morning and the time just went by so fast...as it always does. The kids and us were sad to see them go. Megan said can they stay for a week next time?? I guess we'll have to do some convincing and see what happens:)
Thank you Kirsten and Malcolm for making the trip out here to see us! We always love having you and you know you are welcome here anytime:)

looks like you had a great time together! So fantastic :)
Good to see you all had a great visit, but soon I'm going to have to pull rank and make them come be Uncle and Aunt to my kid instead.
You are SO welcome! We loved every moment (well...maybe except a 4am crash and 6am "mommy" wake-up call :) Well..maybe even those as well!
