Auntie Lauren comes to Play

We love having company and this particular weekend we had a lot of it! My sister Lauren came for the weekend which was great because we hadn't seen her since Christmas. She is such a huge help with Thomas and he loved getting to play with her. She took him sledding on his new blue sled. 

I had taken Thomas sledding twice before and he really enjoyed it. He and I rode down the hill on a cardboard box. (we didn't have a sled) He seemed to love it so we invested in a $4 sled. :)

As it turns out, the sled goes a little faster than the diaper box. Shoot!

Thomas was as startled as we were when we noticed them gaining speed heading straight towards the neighbor's brick front porch. Good thing Auntie put on the brakes. They made two trips down the hill before Thomas decided he had had enough. 

Uncle Peter rounded up some Timberwolves tickets and decided to come down for a night too. He brought along our good friend Mike and Mike's girlfriend Kylie. Friday night the boys went to the basketball game and Thomas entertained us girls. They only stayed one night but it sure was nice to see them!

Thomas loved all the attention. He hopes uncle Peter comes back again sometime soon!

We took advantage of the beautiful evening for a picture in the snow before heading off to dinner.

We thought this would be Auntie's last night with us but luckily (for us) a big blizzard came and she had to stay another night!
