A few weekends ago, Aunt Lee, cousin Elsa, and cousin Claire came to visit Michigan. Unfortunately, Uncle Bob was tied up at work and wasn't able to make the trip with them. But we had great long weekend hanging out with the girls and miss them so much already.
Hanging out in the playroom.
Since we hadn't seen each other since May, we had a late birthday celebration for Carter and Elsa. Carter received some really cool games for his "Leapster" and Mia even got in on the present action when Aunt Lee gave her an adorable homemade quilt. It has cute little owls and chicks on it and the colors match her room perfectly. She loves snuggling with it on the couch with Mommy.

We loved having so much time to hang out and play together!

One of the main reasons for the trip (other than to visit with all of us and catch up) was for Mike Pries and Christina Charron's wedding. This was also the final weekend for Grandpa and Grandma Baldwin to live in Michigan before heading back to their home in Florida. Grandpa and Grandma Jernstadt came over to babysit the kids while the grown-ups went to the wedding and reception. We did however take the kids to the first 10 minutes of the reception to get pictures with all the other cousins. Grandpa and Grandma Baldwin love trying to wrangle in all 9 grandkids for their Christmas card picture and this was a great opportunity for all of us to get together with the kids all dressed up. After the pictures were taken (and they went surprisingly well) we ran the kids back home and went back to enjoy the rest of the reception.
Getting ready for the reception.
Nobody was running or crawling out of the shots this year!

We had a wonderful time with the Heinrich Girls, we can't wait to see everyone around the holidays!
