Weekend with Beth

Beth came to visit for the weekend. She is such a good Aunt. She made flight reservations a couple months ago, for a weekend visit just to spend time with us - mostly Ally and Becky. But I think she likes me a little bit too after all these years.

It was a very relaxing weekend for us.
We watched Moana on Friday night at home with nachos for dinner and popcorn in front of the TV.
Saturday Ally has gymnastics practice and Becky and Beth went to a yoga class. I did some shopping, mostly for supplies for the afternoon projects.
 Friday night - Ally and Cloey.
It was a gymnastics filled Saturday. Ally has been into NCAA gymnastics this winter. We watch it like many people watch football or baseball. It is Ally's sport after all. And she loves it. She has 2 favorite teams - University of Florida Gators and the UCLA Bruins. She asked for  a UCLA sweatshirt - and wore it and new UCLA pajamas I got her all weekend. It is not only college basketball March madness its also gymnastic conference tournament time. Saturday afternoon Ally and I watch some SEC conference and Becky and Beth made these cute Easter Bunny treat bags.


 Eventually Ally laid down for a nap - it was a deal - she had to rest for a long time if she wanted to stay up and watch UCLA live - it started at 9pm - and went until 1130pm.


 when Ally woke up she drew the faces on the bunnies

 then she got a sewing lesson from Aunt Beth. They made 2 sleeping bags for Ally's American Gi.rl Dolls


 the 4 of us are going to Guatemala this summer, and we did some planning this weekend. just need reservations now and we will be all set. But in talking Beth said she had never made tortillas, so Becky made them fresh for dinner, and I made rice beans and Guacamole. YUMMY dinner.

The sisters working on the tortillas.

And staying up late watching her team in the meet. UCLA did not win- and in fact they had a pretty terrible meet for them. But Ally said it was still worth it.
