Visiting Aunt Bella and Uncle Dwight!

We made it! We got to San Antonio this evening and the boys are thrilled to see Aunt Bella and Uncle Dwight. Dwight's sister, Dawn, made a DELICIOUS beef and broccoli noodle dish to welcome us and surprised us with peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert. Mitchell was in heaven, lol. After dinner and some hang out time, we put the kids to bed and had adult hang out time complete with The Amazing Spiderman 2. Poor Bryce always has a hard time sleeping anywhere but his own bed, but Aunt Dawn took two massive, fish-shaped pillows up to the boys and that helped Bryce get to sleep.

  
Bryce was fascinated with Aunt Bella's nutcracker teacher. He wanted Scrappy to have a look, too.

Bryce is pretending to be a puppy. Scrappy wasn't amused at first, but he warmed up eventually and started chasing Derek and Bryce around the house, haha!

 Sam and Scrappy were anxious to go outside to patrol the backyard. Big One and Little One!

 Aunt Bella teased a couple crawls out of Clara with the stuffed snake.

Breakthrough! Derek had been really nervous around the dogs, didn't want to pet them, didn't like it when they came too close, etc. Scrappy was much quieter and stiller as he slept on Uncle Dwight's lap and that gave Derek the confidence to start petting him. Woohoo!

Playing games on Aunt Bella's ipad and petting the puppy. :)

Aunt Bella helped Clara take some shaky steps

Aunt Bella loves her Clara!

Creeper Bryce waits to pounce!
