Christina's visit

Christina came to visit us for a few days. She came in on last Wednesday and stayed through Sunday. We had a great time. It was like a mini-vacation for me too. We ordered pizza the first night. We went to a bounce house (see pictures) on Thursday for a few hours with Haley and Carlie. On Friday I hired a sitter and we went wedding dress shopping. Christina looked absolutely gorgeous in a few of the dresses. If I were her, I might have a hard time deciding on which one is the "most" perfect. We took pictures, but since Dear Uncle Rob is a follower of my blog I won't post them. (smile)

On Saturday Sophia had a soccer game. Of course, we were all dreading it because she usually doesn't play and sits on the sidelines crying. This game was different! Maybe it was because Christina was there or maybe it was because I was allowed to go out onto the field with her and play. You should have seen me running up and down the field holding her hand. She had some contact with the ball too. She got in there and kicked it a few times. I was so proud of her...and so was she.

On Saturday night we had our semi-annual neighborhood block party. We all attended, but it got cold pretty early so Christina and I headed back with the girls and called it a night. Of course, we stayed up talking until I fell asleep mid conversation. Sorry, Christina!

She had to leave on Sunday to get back to Northern VA to prepare for the new job that she was starting on Monday. When she left Sophia said I MISS AUNT CHRISTINA.
