Weekend with the Christenots

This past Sunday, we had the privilege of having some family friends come and stay at our house. The Christenots are in Spencer's parent's ward back home in California and Spencer has known them since he was a kid. They are now serving a mission in the Norfolk, VA area, assigned to Military Relations. We were excited to hear that they were making a trip our way to come to the temple, so we quickly invited them to stay with us. What a FUN visit we had! We were able to do some site seeing with them on Monday- we went to the National Mall and the Museum of Natural History (for my first time)! Later that evening, we all went to the temple to see the lights.




Madi was especially fond of George! Once she found out he had a shirt pocket full of pens and other fun things to pull out and play with (just like her Grandpa Al), she had a friend! In the mornings, she would climb up on his lap and they would read story book after story book! We were sad to see them go yesterday afternoon, but we look forward to more future visits...and Spencer is really excited to go visit them in Norfolk so he can go fishing with George (who happens to be the best fly fisherman you will probably ever meet!). Thanks to the Christenot's for the great visit!
