This weekend, Mom, Dad, Ryan, Ashley and baby Bennett came to visit Blake and I. We ate, watched a movie, played cards, played a little Settlers of Catan and spent a little time in freezing cold Winston-Salem.
When they got here around 11 on Friday night, the temperature was hovering around 10 degrees. It was rather cold to say the least, but they were troopers and we had a great time! Here's a picture of me and Benito when they first got here. He had on the coolest footie pajamas featuring Uga and a sweet toboggon. And he was rockin' it!

Mornings started with breakfast (although I think this picture might have been a dinner shot). But breakfasts didn't look much different for Bennett, maybe a little more smashed bananas :) But that precious smile was definitely around a lot!

There were also a couple of rounds of Settlers of Catan. Ryan won the first round, bringing Blake's reign of victory to an end. Then, yours truly took it home in round two. Thank you very much!
We also introduced everyone to a card game called JACKPOT. It was pretty awesome until Mom and Dad stomped us all.

And then, where there is Blake, there is Guitar Hero. So, we thought we would take a moment to get Bennett acquainted with the new game.


I see a Guitar Hero champion in our future. Who knows, maybe one day he will even beat Uncle Blake.
And, when Bennett was not playing, he was dancing. .. and clapping!

Oh, and by the way... don't let Ashley fool you, she is a rockstar! She's what you might call a Guitar Hero "sleeper." She's just plain good.

Millie handled the full house ok. She had a few moments of sweetness here and there in addition to her moments of being a headache. Some of the sweet moments took place on the couch with Mom, as you can see below. Mom's arm was Millie's pillow of choice.

We were pumped to have everyone up here this weekend. Despite the FREEZING cold weather, we had some good old fashioned family time and that was super good to the soul.
I love you guys, thanks again for making my weekend!

PS- We are expecting 1-3 inches of snow tonight, so if we actually get it, I will be sure to post some pics tomorrow. It will be a winter wonderland for atleast 3-4 hours until it melts :)
