Sunday afternoon while Carter was asleep, Debbie {Nick's mom} pulled up at our house to spend the night with this lovely lady in tow:
When Carter woke up from his nap, he couldn't have been more excited that Debbie and Mary Reese were at our house. Mary Reese and Debbie had picked out some surprises for Carter and Callen at Target. Mary Reese was ready to show Carter how to put his surprises to good use, and she had an eager student!
First, she coached him on the finer points of artistic expression with sidewalk chalk on asphalt.
Then, she instructed him in marksmanship with a water pistol {through the screen on the back porch--very creative!}
All the while, Callen felt the need to demonstrate that she could entertain herself pulling up around the house.
After Mary Reese and Carter had exhausted the "newness" of his surprises, they thought it'd be a good idea to cool off in the sprinklers. This is what they did for 20 minutes...ran, ran, and ran in circles through the water!
Before bedtime, Mary Reese even had Carter playing dolls with her! It was actually really funny to watch. Carter hasn't really played dolls before, so Mary Reese kept telling him to make them say something. He kept making them say, "Carter," and Mary Reese would laugh and say "not that!"
They played together so very well...with no fights or tears! We were so happy to have Mary Reese and Debbie here last night, and Carter was so sad his playmate was gone when we got home tonight!

So much fun! Avi also plays well with her older cousins, and it is fun to watch. Love the pictures!
Mary Reese loved her visit too! She packed her own suitcase...so I had no clue what was inside. Love that Carter got to play Barbie's with her!
Glad everyone is closer so we can have lots of cousin visits
Looks like MR and the C-Man had lots of fun! I'm so impressed with Sunny. Before you know it, she'll be RUNNING!!!
