House full of Family!!!

Back in September, we were SO LUCKY to convince some family to come and visit us! We used the BYU vs. Air Force game as a way to get them here! We had such a great weekend! We had my parents and sister and TJ's parents and siblings here. We filled our house and our friends house full of family! Lily was so happy to have cousins here to play with and aunts and uncles and grandparents to spoil her! We packed in lots of fun while everyone was here, in hopes that they will want to come back and visit! We went to the Zoo and celebrated Lily's birthday a little early so family could see. We went to our favorite restaurant, Budapest Bistro, for some yummy Hungarian food. We went to the Big Game and tail gated before! We played games and ate pizza too! We cannot wait for someone to visit us again! Right now at the Zoo they have lots of new babies on display. We saw four new tiger cubs. They were so fun to see!

Lily and Cody sure enjoyed watching the Tigers, or at least climbing on the rail!

Giving Grandma Gray hugs
This was the cutest! The three kids loved riding in the wagon together! They did a great job playing the whole weekend!
This is one of the other new babies! The baby Orangutan! This was by far the cutest of the babies! This little girl is three months old! The first born in 26 years at the Denver Zoo!

Celebrating Lily's birthday! We had cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday" and opened a few gifts. Aunt Kim, Uncle David, and Cody gave Lily a super cute book that she carries around when she wants a purse! It is a pink purse alphabet book.
Opening yet some more books! Lily LOVES her books!
Opening some more presents at home. She got some fun color wonder pages for Church and some fun doll stuff.

Saturday was the big day! We drove down to Colorado Springs to the Air Force Academy! We met up with some friends and had a great time tail gating before the game! It is too bad that BYU didn't show up to play that game! We still had a great time with family and friends!

Our cute little family dressed in "Blue Cougars" as Lily will tell you! Thanks Grandma Gray for binging us new Cougar gear!
Lily enjoying Grandpa time! She was very lucky to have both Grandpa's sitting right next to each other while she got to watch her Blue Cougars!

Aunt Cassie and Collin with Lily before the game! Lily was cheering on America with her flags! The game was September 11th and so they gave out flags to the fans. Lily collected as many as she could and would say, "GO America!" It was a great day to remember those who we lost on September 11, 2001. They had a lot of special guests at the game from NYC. Many had lost loved ones that were there. Very patriotic!



On Sunday Lily got to enjoy Grandma and Grandpa Warner for one more day. Everyone else left that morning. Lily was sure sad come Monday morning when no one was there to play! We sure had a great time and look forward to many more visits from family and friends! Thanks to all who came!
