A week or so ago on the 8th, my parents flew in to visit! It was so much fun and I loved every minute of it! The 9th was my Dad's birthday and I was so happy that Brady, Alayna and I were able to celebrate it with him. He is 58 now! (Perfect Grandpa age :) It was actually perfect timing for them to come because Brady had his last final that morning. He ended up with 3.75 GPA. He is such a smarty pants!! :)
For my Dad's birthday we went to explore a little bit of downtown Dallas. We went and saw where President Kennedy was assassinated, we saw one of the original documents of the Declaration of Independence, and we saw a cattle drive made out of statues! After we were done touring a Dallas, we went to eat at "Saltgrass Steak House" for my Dad's birthday. It was yummy!
The Birthday man!
Alayna fell asleep :)
This statue was huge!!
The next day we went and did a session in the Dallas temple. It felt really good to finally get to go to the temple. I was really nervous the whole time though because we left Alayna with our friends, Spencer and Sara. We had never left her with a baby sitter before and I was just praying that she would do well. I'm pretty sure I had a harder time leaving her at a baby sitters than Alayna did. Haha. When we got back to pick Alayna up, she was just sitting in front of their little Christmas tree, watching the lights on the tree change colors. Alayna just kinda looked at Brady and I like "What are Mom and Dad doing here?" Haha. Spencer and Sara said that she did really good! They just said that they thought it was a little gross changing her poopy diaper. Lol. Brady and I had only made her drink from a bottle once, so I wasn't surprised that she didn't want to drink out of a bottle at the baby sitters. I was just happy that she was a good girl even though she was hungry. I am also very happy that Alayna didn't scare Spencer and Sara from never wanting to have a baby!
Later that day we went to a park really close to our apartment and fed the ducks. It was so much fun!!! The ducks were super friendly and you could feed them from your hand! After the park we went to the mall for a bit and then came home and watched the movie "The Help."
Alayna got a early Christmas present from Grama and Grampa. A coat!
All the ducks started running towards us when they realized we had food!
Mom was feeding that duck from her hand!

On Sunday we just had a relaxing day. We don't have church until 1p.m. and so we don't get out of church until 4p.m. Then we can't go home right away because Brady is the ward assistant clerk and always has to do clerk stuff after church. It was really great because I just got called to be the 2nd counselor in the Primary presidency and my parents were there to sustain me in sacrament!
On Monday we went to the mall! I love the mall! And shopping!! Even if I don't buy anything. Haha. After the mall, we had to go to "Dunkin Donuts." When my Dad served his mission in Texas, he and his companion often went to "Dunkin Donuts" and so my Dad really wanted to have a "Dunkin Donut." Haha. That night we stayed up late playing a game and talking.
The next morning we had to take my parents back to the airport so they could go home. :( I was so glad that they got to come to Texas and spend a few days with us because I always miss my mommy and daddy! I'm sure they had a great time too and LOVED holding their cute little granddaughter!
