Mini Family Reunion

On Saturday Kate and I drove up to the Jelly Belly warehouse to go on the tour and buy some jelly beans. OK, really we went to see our cousins and my aunt before they came to our house for dinner. :) Kate and Samantha were matching but you wouldn't know it since Kate refused to take her jacket off. They did ride next to each other on the jelly belly train. I'm not sure how much of the tour we really paid attention to but Kate really enjoyed the part with the flavor drums. They made noise so it caught her attention. I think that was the only part of the movie she watched, too.

After picking out our candy and many others for family members, we headed home so Kate could rest up for the evening play times.

Family arrived again for playtime, gifts, social time and dinner. The girls now have cute matching outfits and dolls. Kate loves the doll from Aunt Terri. She has been fascinated by her all weekend! Kate loves brushing her doll's hair and dressing her with the snap on clothes.

Kate loved running around outside with her cousin Marc. I think he had just as much fun. :) Kate and Samantha had fun picking grapes from mom's grape arbor. Dad was the first adult at the outside table so it looks like dad was sitting at the kiddie table. :)It was hard to get the kids to pose and look at the camera all at once but we managed to get a few cute pictures. :)
