Gessell Visitors

Next up on our November revolving door of visitors (visitors every weekend in November) was Alicia and her kids. They flew out before Bryce so they could spend some time with us and other friends in Utah County. Then when Bryce flew in right before Thanksgiving they all drove out to Vernal to be with his family. 
It was especially exciting because we had never met Brigham. He was already almost 9 months old! Of course Addy was much more grown up since it had been 15 months since we last saw her. Last time we saw her she was barely talking and now she is a full-blown kid. In fact, she is so tall Elise had a hard time understanding that she is closer to Millie's age than her own. 
 Adelaide and Camille will be in the same grade (along with their twin cousins). At this point Addy seems much older than Millie. Millie has a hard time playing very well, but they did play a bit. 

We mostly stuck around our house for the few days Alicia was here. One day the girls spent hours in swimsuits pretending the family room was a pool. It even included goggles. 

I love spending time with my siblings. Especially as I get to watch them (and their kids) interact with my kids. Family is everything. We wish their stay could have been longer than 3 days, but we will see them again in the summer of 2017. Hard to believe Addy will be almost 4 and Brigham 18 months by then.
