Aunt Tiff Came to Visit!

We were very lucky and had a special visitor this past week! We had Tiffany, TJ's sister, come and stay with us! We were so excited for her to come and when she came we had so much fun! The first day she got here we hung out and then went downtown and met TJ for dinner. Then we played games until really late. It was fun to play games each night and stay up late. I have to add that Lily LOVED having Tiff here. She was so cute with her the whole week. We are sad that she had to go:( Here is what we did...
The first full day we had it snowed most of the day. So we packed up and went to the Aquarium. We had a great time. It was Lily's first time and I would say that she liked the fish.

What a huge fish! At least three Lily's!

The sharks are the best part of the Aquarium. In the room that they are in there are a few holes on the floor. Lily was afraid to walk on them or touch the glass when the sharks were close. She did enjoy seeing the huge sharks swim around.
Friday TJ took the day off and we all got to play together! Plus it was a lot nicer weather. Our first stop was the Hammond's Candy Factory. They make all handmade candy. It was incredible to see them go through all the processes. It went pretty quickly too. The candy tastes pretty good too!

This guy is making lollipops. To be a candy maker it takes two years to learn the trade!
Lily thought it was fun to watch. She was wishing she had a sucker in her hand! We haven't given her her lollipop yet because they are huge! She is going to love it!

Brother and Sister enjoying time together! TJ was so excited that Tiff came. He was especially glad he got to take a day off to play with us!
After the candy factory we went to a pumpkin patch in Broomfield. We took Lily to the same one last year when she was only three weeks old. This time she enjoyed her self so much! She was even able to find a pumpkin just her size with the help of her aunt Tiff!




Lily also got to pet a little pony at the petting farm.
When we got home we made Carmel apples because what would a fall day spent at the farm be without Carmel apples to top it off? YUMMY!
These last two pictures is what Lily did the rest of the time we were at home with Tiff. She loved Lily's purse and phone. What a girl! It was fun to watch her partially carry partially drag the purse around the apartment while talking on the phone to 'grandma'!
Then Saturday TJ and Tiff hung out with Lily while I was in charge of Super Saturday for our Ward. When I got done we entertained a few of TJ's cousins that came into town to watch the Broncos play. We had too much food and played games and had a great time. We sure love having a house full of people! We welcome visitors to come and visit us anytime!
