Koller's Trip to CT

I was so thrilled to have my sister Emily and her family come visit in October! This was the first time their kids have been to visit so it was a big deal! I was in heaven. Part of the plan was to take their girls into the city to get American Girl Dolls as part of their early Christmas present from their mom and dad, which was so fun! I'm glad I was able to be a part of that. The rest of the time we were able to have some fun hanging out in CT. Emily's girls are the best. They loved our new place and town. They are genuinly excited about every little thing which made it so fun. They would say things like "I love how ALL the stairs creek!" and "I just love how everything is so old and cute!" and Annie says she wants to live here when she grows up! I love it. Now if only they could have stayed longer!

Daniel was so excited to have his cousins come to his house! He was especially excited for his cousins to walk him to school in the morning!

 

Lucy getting some love from the girl cousins!

 

I took Lucy and went into the city with my sister and her family to show them around the city and go to the American Girl Doll store. It was such a fun day and we had the best weather! Shannon was so great to stay home with Nora and Henry and Daniel when he got home from school so I could go.

This was funny. On our way home from picking up Daniel at school we stopped in at the library b/c the kids wanted to see it. I was waiting outside with my double stroller and my sisters double stroller while they went inside. A lady walked by -seeing the 2 double strollers and said something like - whoa, it's like your mormon or something. I said...I am!.. But only one of these strollers is mine. :) She could hardly believe it.

The kids loved going to Ada's Candy Shop to each spend a dollar on penny candy.

Lucy and Rilla sleeping. People tell us these two look a lot alike.
