the British Invasion...


The Beatles didn't descend upon us but we had our own British invasion over the weekend as we welcomed Jason's mother (Val), brother (Preston), niece (Kirsty) (from Kings Lynn, England), and his sister and brother in law (Jackie & Wally) who live in Little Rock.

Nannie came to spoil with chocolates from England, cute clothes and lots of hugs and kisses...

We had a great weekend showing them the sites of the city, enjoying some KC barbecue, and enjoying family time together.

They hadn't met Alayna yet as the last time Aidan & I were in England I was 5 months pregnant with her. She warmed up immediately to Uncle Preston (as he looks just like daddy) and was attached to him or Kirsty most of the weekend.

Trust us, Alayna used her time wisely and went from lap to lap making sure she got plenty of snuggles from everyone while they were here.

Our four day visit flew by. We are so thankful to Jackie & Wally for driving everyone up here for the weekend. Safe travels back home and back to England. We love you all.

What fun!!! Some of Piper's favorite people in our lives are folks with accents. My Aussie aunt and uncle, my coworker from Barbados...

Glad you had such a great time!
