On Friday we got a call from Auntie Bianca to say that she was coming up for a visit. Bronwen and Ava were so excited. For the rest of the afternoon, almost all of the conversations between the girls and me were:
Bronwen/Ava: "What is going to happen after we wake up tomorrow?"
Me: "We'll eat breakfast."
Girls: "Then what momma?"
Me: "Oh, I don't know...chores?"
Girls: "No momma, tell us!"
Me: "Oh I know! Your Auntie Bianca is coming."
Girls: "Yeah! What time?"
Me: "Around 12."
Girls: "When is it 12?"...
It was obvious the anticipation was killing them. They couldn't wait!
Well Bianca pulled into the driveway right on schedule. Conrad made us lunch, we loaded up in the car to get a caffeine fix from Starbucks, then to the movies!
Conrad had been wanting to take the girls to see WALLE for about a month now. Some of his favorite memories with his dad were of them going to the theater, so he wanted to pass on the 'tradition". We all had a great time, and actually got to stay for the whole show! The best part for me was watching Bronwen with Ava. Even though they are only 16 months apart, Bronwen really is the world's best big sister. She would get popcorn and candy for herself, then look at Ava and say, "Here Sissy -open up," and pop a treat into Ava's mouth. It is so beautiful to see how caring they are to one another. On a funny note, one of the characters is named "Eve", but they pronounce it as "Eva." The whole time, Ava kept saying, "They said Ava!" She was very excited and rather loud about it too! ;-)

I love Ava's face in the movie theater...what was she looking at?:-) You girls look like you're having such a blast! Miss you! Fotini
I can't believe that Bianca is so grown up! Let alone your girls are old enough to go to the movies. I'm glad that you are enjoying Seattle. Hopefully we will get back to the northwest some day.
