my auntie loves me

Nancy and Julie bought tickets to Celine months and months ago. They came down to Vegas this weekend to finally see the show and guess what? Celine cancelled. Our poor aunties didn't get news of the cancelled show until they were already here. Such a bummer (for them) but SUCH a treat for us to have them visit.

They are such fun aunts. They love to play with the kids and love to coo at the baby. Our dog would literally go home with them if they would let her. Sunny loves Aunt Nance! They were kind enough to watch our kids so Aaron and I could go out (and we stayed out late!) While we were gone, they had a talent show with our boys and they are still talking about it. Julie whistled, Luke played the keyboard, Zack showed them his break-dancer moves, Ben did tricks on the trampoline, Simon did sommersaults and Nancy spun a basketball on her finger. They had ice cream and watched movies and had Taco Bell for dinner. Aaron and I also enjoyed our late night talks with them... we always have the best conversations. On Saturday morning, I talked them into coming to a yoga class with me and we all loved it. Jane, Nancy, Julie and I stopped at Tropical Smoothie Cafe and talked for a while. Most of our conversation was about Nancy's mom/my Grandma/the original Roma. We laughed so hard about the time Roma introduced Julie as "her lover" to family members. Grandma was always so outgoing and so funny. She loved to SHOCK people. I like to think I take after her.... and I am so proud to have my own little Roma girl.

These awesome aunties wouldn't let me do any dishes or make any food. They had a Sunday roast and potatoes cooking in the oven when they left. We love them so! One of the funniest moments of the weekend was when Zack came into the room where Nancy, Julie, baby Ro and I were talking. He was looking all suave and while holding out two finger guns he said, "Hey Ladies!" It was the catch phrase of the weekend and was repeated a thousand times. So funny!

Simon LOVES these two amazing women and sticks to them like glue. When Nancy asked him where he got his long lashes, he smiled and said "from Christmas." Simon knows he's loved and always acts super silly around them. They, of course, love him right back. The best kind of visitors are the ones who adore your kids.
