Mike & Sarah Visit

Our friends Mike and Sarah came to visit for the weekend!! They moved to MD a little over a year ago and Sarah surprised me at my shower in March, but it was a quick visit and Mike didn't make the trip. They flew in on Thursday morning and stayed with us until Sunday. It was so great to see them, we used to spend a lot of time with them when they lived here and have really missed having them around. They got to meet Payton which meant a lot to me. Sarah got in to PA school in MD so they left CO, but rumor has it that they still love it here and may move back some day!!
On Friday Sarah and I went and got our hair done by our favorite stylist and Kole had to work so Mike stayed home with Payton. I was thinking she would be asleep for her morning nap most of the time, but we didn't get home until 12:30 and she's usually up by 10:30. So Mike got to change his first diaper x2 and one was not so sweet smelling, feed her a bottle and lunch, and play. He did a great job, I was so impressed!! (There was a little changing table thing, but all is well!)
Friday night Josh and Kelsey and Amber came for dinner and Mike and Kole whipped up some yummy fajitas. Kelsey was wearing a headband and Payton insisted on trying it on :)

Saturday we just hung at the house and Kole and Payton and I went to the Christmas service at church while Mike and Sarah caught up with some of their other friends they left behind. Payton sported one of her Christmas shirts that Grandma got for her and looked pretty cute!


Saturday night we had a full house, Obi came to spend the night and hang out on Sunday while Amber and Williams tended to Tristan and Dixon recovering from open hear surgery. Obi is a sweet little boy and Payton loves when he is around, needless to say they kept us busy! A funny side note - we put Payton in a pack-n-play in our closet to sleep and let Obi sleep in her crib. She slept better than she has in weeks so we let her nap in there on Sunday and Kole talked me into leaving her in there Sunday night. Wish we could replicate what it was she liked about the closet because I insisted she move back to her bed last night and she was back to her usual wake up and talk in the 5am hour...

We snapped a few pics for Mike and Sarah's Christmas card

Payton jumped in the photo



We took the kids for a walk after lunch on Sunday and came across a park, it was 60 degrees (on December 19th!!) so we couldn't just walk by without letting them play for a while. This was Obi protesting when it was time to go, think he had fun??



One thing we love about Mike and Sarah is they're always up for anything (babysitting solo for the first time, taking on an extra kid unexpectedly, etc.) or content to just sit around, have a beer and catch up. We miss you guys and hope you do make it back to CO someday!!!
