Nana Came to Visit!

Last Friday night we picked up Nana at the airport and she spent a week with us! We had so much fun together! Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's Market and got lots of vegetables. Then we headed to the grocery store to stock up on more food! Saturday evening we even got in a little shopping at Old Navy! (Daddy spent the weekend elk hunting...more to come on that!)

Sunday we got the girls dressed in their new fall dresses!

so cute!
such a stinker...

Then we headed out to lunch at Olive Garden!

Michael spent Saturday & Sunday elk hunting aka hiking in the mountains...he spotted a moose, but no elk. Then Monday afternoon he was invited to go elk hunting with someone else and this time on horseback....

They got very close to some large elk, but never saw any he could shoot. (He had a spike elk tag) What a cool experience! So glad they took pictures!

We picked more pumpkins from our garden...and my mom brought me this baked apple pie candle! It's what she always burned at home this time of year, and I've been missing that smell...

We baked the first butternut squash from our garden and made some gluten free muffins

The weather was great and we enjoyed the time we were able to spend outside playing too!

The girls being silly, I think they were talking to Mama on speakerphone!

Elizabeth eating her first oreo (well the gluten free version) still good!

yum! Check out that sweet bracelet Nana made...

We did lots of cooking...we made a new spinach artichoke dip (that I loved!!), squash cakes & chicken parm, roast w/potatoes & carrots, beef/vegetable soup & cornbread, more spinach dip, baked apples, and squash muffins. We had a great week, cooking, baking, and playing with Nana! We're so glad you were able to come!!
