More fun with Grandma!

More fun with mom!
My mom was a huge help the whole time she was here! We wanted to make sure she was also able to enjoy the sights of South Africa so in the last 2 weeks of her visit we tried to take her to fun places. We visited several restaurants and malls besides some of the other things we've shared previously. We found a few more souvenirs but she had a few surprises up her sleeve as well. Check out the picture of the gift she brought in one of her suitcases! She definitely deserves the "Expert Packer" award. We enjoyed playing many table games - especially Rummikub. We laughed at the amount of pictures we took of Joshua as we tried to create our own backgrounds for his "photo sessions" in our bedroom. We are pleased to announce that our 3rd child doesn't appear to be lacking in the picture department as of yet. We also had fun decorating our 18 inch, 25 cent, Walmart special Christmas tree. It doesn't really feel like Christmas with 80 degree weather but we are trying to at least make it look a little like Christmas. It was a wonderful blessing to have my mom come. We had a fantastic time together and saying goodbye is always hard. We love you mom and we miss you!
