The Anderson Inn: Our week of over night guests!

Last week was a busy week for us! I feel like I spent most of the week washing and making beds! And I loved it!
Sunday night we had my aunt Paula, two of her granddaughters, Molly and Meredith and my sister Hannah. Paula was taking Molly and Meredith back to Park City for two weeks and Hannah went along to help out! Monday morning Thomas got to play with his cousins before it was time to help them get to the airport. 

Molly and Thomas were up bright and early, in time to send Erik off to work. We had gotten about four inches of snow so Erik had to shovel his way to his car. 

I wish Thomas could get together with these cousins more often! Molly (3 years old) has experience with one year olds (little sister Meredith) and played so nicely with Thomas!

It took a while but we got all the kids fed and dressed and they even had extra time to play before packing up for the airport.

Molly had a hard time finding "big girl" toys at our house but the teething rings made nice "jewelry."

Monday night we had a surprise visit from my brother Drew. He was running errands in town and was able to stop by for dinner and some Thomas time.

We appreciated Drew coming over to tire out Thomas before bed time!

Thomas did a lot of giggling and showing off for uncle Drew!

Two handsome boys!

Before we know it, its Wednesday and Erik's parents are here! They were leaving for vacation Thursday morning and came down the night before to spend a little quality time with Thomas.

Thomas was sure excited about their arrival!

Thomas was a little under the weather but he still had a good time with Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks for coming to visit, have a fabulous vacation!

Next thing we know, it's Friday! Erik was going out of town for a guys weekend with some buddies so my mom came to stay with Thomas and me. I was extra happy to have her around because as it turns out, Thomas has his first ear infection and a cold. The poor guy is miserable.
My grandma Janice, aunt Lisa and uncle Marcel are also in the cities for the weekend so grandma Janice decided to stay at our house on Friday night.

Lucky for Thomas, between the two grandmas he got in lots of snuggling. They were both willing to read his favorite truck book over and over and over!

Saturday morning, uncle Marcel came over and played blocks with Thomas.
Saturday afternoon my mom stayed home with the sick baby and I got to go shopping with Lisa and grandma. It was so nice for me to get out of the house! I know my mom would have loved the afternoon at the mall but she was gracious enough to let me have a little break. Thanks, mom!! She and I did get out for a little shopping on Sunday afternoon when Erik returned from his guys weekend. He was excited about a little Thomas time himself! My mom stayed with us until this morning and I am so grateful for all her help. It was nice to have her around, especially while Thomas wasn't well. We were sad to say good bye but on the bright side, Thomas seems to be much better! Which is good because tomorrow we get more company! Erik's sister Stephanie is on spring break and will come down for a couple days, Erik's parents return from vacation and will stop by for a quick visit and my dad is also in town for a meeting! Guess I better wash up the beds again! :)
