Visitors

We’ve had so many visitors at our new house! We love sharing our new space, and we love that so many people share in our joy of this new home. I managed to randomly get pictures of a few visitors who stopped by.

I’m not sure she knows what to think of #fratlife.

These lovely ladies spent two days with us while the daddies were at Conference. It was such a treat!

Jim & Coco popped by too. Jim has the best stories about his photos.

Our friends had an extra dishwasher on hand, so they kindly donated it to the Burda cause. It brought us about three or four decades closer to today.

They even installed it for us! (We pay on wine or frozen dinners or beer...your choice!)

Stopped for a little pizza lunch.

And the kiddos kept themselves busy with games and playing.

It’s so much better...and SO much quieter.

We’ve had quite a few days off of school...mostly due to weather...so we’ve been doing all the things.

It’s SO much easier keeping three small kids happy when you have S P A C E.

Burda Christmas

We had a nice evening with Grandpa Burda to celebrate Christmas. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I took. At least it’s a cute one!

Cousin Christmas

Almost all of my cousins on my mom’s side met at Panera over Christmas. It’s a fun, rowdy group...especially now that most of us bring our own kids too. It’s like we still sit at the kids’ table at Grandma Irene’s house...except the table is in Panera now, and I’m sure the people in Panera wished they had chosen a different lunch destination that day.

After Panera we had dinner at my aunt & uncle’s house and it was a fun time! It’s always fun to take my kids there and watch their heads explode when they walk into the playroom. I mean, let’s face it..even I still love going into the clubhouse downstairs and playing with all the toys I remember from my childhood!

Michelle taught Elias “cut the pickle” and he thought it was amazing.

I read the book about this Little Lady making cinnamon rolls with her Grandma two times in a row, and there’s a very funny part in it that made us laugh. Apparently, she’s a fast roller which caught her Grandma off-guard! Then she fell asleep in my lap as we chatted around the table.

Thanks for a lovely visit!
