Grandmama and Papa Kempton made a surprise visit and we packed in as much attention and fun as we could into their 24 hour visit. The kids loved EVERY minute of it!!! As if the surprise knock at the door wasn't enough, they brought fun balloons which provided a good hour of entertainment for us all! (And since it was raining, this was the perfect activity!)
Playing at the park
Grandma made Elizabeth a delicious strawberry pie so we could celebrate her birthday together.
She was delighted to open up a sweet new baby doll appropriately named "Sissy".
Anna was super, super sad when they left.
-showing Papa "happy" despite the tears.
(note Anna's shoes...)
Papa gave James an awesome football which they played with just before they left.
"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now." Thomas S. Monson "Finding Joy in the Journey," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 85
