Our next visitors were my parents a few days later. Ally had just turned 6 weeks old and was really starting to interact, coo, and smile. Such a fun time with her!
My parents stayed for 12 days and we enjoyed having them here. The weather was great so they were able to get out with the kids a lot and take them to the park every single day. Emma and Jack loved this! They also picked Jack up from school and took the kids to gymnastics for me. It was really nice to just be able to relax at home with Ally while they spent time with E&J. We didn't have much on the agenda, we just did a whole lot of Christmas and hanging out.Will and I even went on a date night to dinner at Smash Burger, to see the last Twilight movie (thanks Will) and to Christmas shop for the kids. Very nice.

Went for a drive to the top of Irazu Volcano. Of course it was cloudy by the time we got up there and couldn't see a thing. Mom got a little scared when we decided to off-road a bit on the edge of a volcano!
One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to take Emma to see the Nutcracker. She loves that ballet! 2 years ago I bought her this Nutcracker when we went to see it in Memphis at the Orpheum. Mom brought it with her and I surprised both of them with tickets to the Nutcracker here. Emma was shocked! Mom asked if it was going to be in Spanish (hehe...it's a ballet Mom).
