Sleepovers

Danica had a sleepover last Friday night -- with just Grandma because Clay had been in Montana all that week on his annual "guys only" trip to the family cabin outside Yellowstone. (He and his brothers try to get up there each fall -- initially it was to work on the cabin, but now they have time for more leisurely pursuits).

With Grandpa out of the picture, Grandma finally had a chance to be the "favorite" grandparent for a change. It was fun to have some "one on one" time with Danica.

She spent a long time playing with PlayDoh, which is one of her favorite activities (when we remember we have it!).

She takes her "art" very seriously.


She likes to practice her cutting skills.





She loves squeezing out the "worms."





Time to watch a movie -- this is what she picked out to watch. (I'm not sure why she likes this DVD so much, but she asks for it at least a couple of times a month!)


Getting comfortable -- gotta have popcorn!


The next day, Clay flew into the Portland Airport. Melissa and Danica consented to come with me to pick him up (I hate going to the Portland airport). After picking him up, we treated ourselves to dinner here (Clay had never been):


We all enjoyed their scrumptious milkshakes.
