My family came to visit from Florida to celebrate Silas' birthday. Becky came on a Friday and stayed through Thursday. My parents brought my niece, Gillian, with them on Tuesday and stayed through Saturday. We had a fantastic time, as always.
Aunt Becky is here!!!

Aunt Becky helped Vivien work on her maze book.
This was cute. She would tickle the backs of his ears and he just cracked up. He is so ticklish!

They don't know I took this video. I was inside, shooting through the window.

Couldn't resist taking this shot.
We took Becky to the new Cowboys Stadium for a tour. She was kind enough to treat us to the tour. Behind her is the largest television screen in the world. Everything's bigger in Texas...
This is in a double suite. A suite is leased for 20 years and costs 2 million dollars. Hey sure.
We ducked out of the tour early. We were bored and didn't want to get caught in rush hour traffic.
On Tuesday, Jim took Vivien to the airport to get the rest of the group. Here are Gillian and Vivien seeing each other for the first time since April. This trip was highly anticipated by both girls.
They immediately came back to the house and played High School Musical.
Then I dressed the girls up in costumes and we got ready to go to dinner at the Magic Time Machine.
I ordered the bubbly brew (or whatever the heck it's called) for the girls. Vivien spit it back out on her plate. Gillian wanted to guzzle it down. Grampy gave it a taste.
Our waiter was Captain Jack Sparrow. He never broke character. I think we had the best character there. The others seemed kind of lame.
They sang a birthday song to Silas. I thought I was recording, but I wasn't. I realized just as they finished the song, so here is the candle blowing part.

The girls waltzed their way out of the restaurant.
First night passed out.
Wednesday was Silas' birthday. To start the day off, we went to the Addison fountains. I'll do a separate entry to chronicle his actual birthday party.
Here is cutie pie, Gillian.
Grampy to the rescue.
The birthday boy is enjoying the fountains too.
There was an incident with Gillian, but Aunt Becky got her calmed down.

I also brought bubbles for the girls to play with.
When we got back, Gillian taught Vivien some drawing techniques while Grammy looked on.
The next morning, I sent them out with the sidewalk chalk paint while Silas and I took a nap.
Jim and Grampy went to get tattoos, so Grammy and I watched So You Think You Can Dance with the girls. They busted some moves.
Vivien is a lot more into partner dancing than Gillian.

On Friday, we went to Arbor Hills park.
Then the girls played in our kiddie pool.
Silas supervised.
All tired out, they chilled out and watched some TV before bed.
Grammy read a bedtime story while they took notes?
Normally, mom and I play Hand and Foot every night when they visit. But this time, we were exhausted every night. We finally played on the last night.
Saturday was time to go. We were taking pics and Vivien got overwhelmed. Grammy comforted her.
And here are the happy grandparents with all of their grandchildren. :)
