A visit from cousins!

My brother and his cute family came up from Idaho to stay with us this past weekend. They were here for a wedding and then they stayed to hang out for a couple days after that. The boys were SO EXCITED to have their cousins come and enjoyed being able to play with them.







Cute baby Ameisha.






After church on Sunday, we drove to a spot where we could see the Seattle skyline. It was pouring and pretty chilly, so we didn't stay long, but it sure was a pretty view!









That evening, we let the cousins exchange their Christmas presents.







Ellie got a shopping cart, which she LOVES.



She insists on trying to sit in it.



The boys got kits to build catapults and a marshmallow gun. Needless to say, they were in heaven.



Asher "taking Ameisha's picture".



On Monday, we explored a bit of Seattle. We decided on Pike's Market which has a lot of character and things to see.





















We also visited the gum wall. While I was looking it up to make sure I remembered where it was, I learned that it is the fifth least sanitary tourist attraction in the world. (Not that I'm surprised. Honestly, I would have thought it would be higher on the list.)











After that, we had a yummy lunch in Chinatown and then we let them start their long drive back home. So fun to see you guys! :)
