A few weeks ago my cousin Jen came to stay with us for a few days. The boys weren't sure what to think at first, but I assured them that Jen was fun and she would play dinosaurs with them.
They had so much fun with Jen. She played for hours! It took them 1 evening to fall in love with her. She was an awesome house guest and we all had fun getting to know Jen all over again. We went ice skating, decorated gingerbread men and she even got to see us light the advent candle at church. Jen joined us in the boys Sunday School. She built the biggest train track they had ever had (even went to the store to buy more track) and she read to them for HOURS! 
Jen took our Christmas card picture for us and I just had to snap a few of her with the boys. When it was time to say goodbye the boys were sad to see her go. But the worst was definitely Hudson. It was his first experience missing someone. He cried for her for10 minutes at bedtime. He has asked for her EVERY day since she left. Then the other day he asked if we could go to the airport and pick up Jen. We told him that she wasn't there. He said then he wanted to put on his comfy clothes (he means warm clothes) and go to NY and see her.

Wearing their "Jen" shirts The main reason Jen was in town is her niece Ashley was at the Pop Warner Cheerleader national championships at Disney. Ashley is Tiffany's daughter for those of you who know the family. Brandon and I went to the competition and got to hang out with Jen, Tiffany, her boyfriend & kids and Uncle Joe & Aunt Carol. It was great to see everyone even if it was for a short time. The best part was that Ashley's team won the competition. Go Falcons!
