The Zdenek Family: Visit from Granny and Aunti Di

A week ago, Ryan's Granny and Aunti Di came to visit all of us for 5 days. It was wonderful for all of us to get to spend some time together!

Ryan's Granny lives in Illinois and Aunti Diane lives in Maryland. I've met Granny quite a few times, but I hadn't had the opportunity to meet Aunti Di. It was wonderful to be able to spend a few days with the two of them and for Aunti Di to meet Payton and Gracie for the first time and for Granny to meet Gracie as well!

The two of them flew in on Wednesday night, so the following night my mother-in-law Joanne had everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner. She always makes delicious meals and we all have a great time when we get together to induldge! Payton and Gracie had a great time getting to play with their cousins; Cedrick, Cassius, and Mia (Nathan's fiance's children).

On Sunday all of us again got together for dinner at Chopstix in Everett. We had been there before with Joanne and Chuck to listen to the dueling pianos. It's so much fun there and we all have such a great time!! Payton especially enjoys dancing to the music.

It's kind of hard to see since it is dark in the room

Every time one of them would be holding Payton or Gracie, I never had my camera near me to take a picture. Thankfully I got a couple of pictures before they went home.
