Our children have been desperate for a visit from the Howletts and they were lucky enough to get one this weekend. Us parents beamed with happiness as we watched our gorgeous children hug each then run off to play together.
No sooner had Jarom got out the car the boys began straight away to play with their light sabres. Look at the sheer joy on their faces, they are clearly thrilled to be able to play together.
The girls enjoyed chalk drawing outside (a project initiated by Ismay).
Clare very kindly brought us a meal (another bad week of sickness for me) and the boys showed us how bread should be cut. Apparently Clare and I have deficiencies when it comes to slicing a loaf!
Jason bought a play station back in February, but we haven't let the children play on it as we try and encourage them to play with each other and read when they are at home. However, we decided that having the cousins come to play was an occasion to crack it out and boy, did they have fun playing a racing car game.
The children had talked about the sleeping arrangements for weeks in advance of this visit. Eden wanted to put the tent up in his room and the boys slept there.
Amelie initially started off with the boys, but she ended up gravitating towards the girls and at 10:30, was finally asleep.
Eden and Jarom awoke at 4 asking for breakfast. We took them back to bed and told them to go back to sleep. At 7 they were all up and chatting over breakfast. We really enjoyed listening to their cute conversations. They all play so well together.
Then it was time to get ready for Church. Such a gorgeous gaggle of kids. We let them watch Star Wars as a treat before and after Church.
