A little cousin lovin'

I find myself once again sitting at the computer on Sunday afternoon..attempting to recapture events that have gone by weeks ago. My brother, Bryan, and his daughter, Alyssa, came up for a visit 2 weeks ago. He is a golf pro in a suburb of Memphis and had some vacation time to burn so he headed north and stayed with my parents. Unfortunately, his wife, Allie, had to work, so she had to stay home (although honestly, I would love the house to myself for a week!) We sure missed Allie though. She did send us a delish homemade banana cream dessert...YUMMY!!!

Here Alyssa and Nana enjoy playing Pokeno...the boys' favorite game to play when visiting Nana and Papa!
Jack and Nick LOVE creating fabulous art projects with all of Nana's scrapbook scissors and papers! Alyssa jumped right in!
It seemed like the week was over in the blink of an eye though and it was time for Uncle Bryan and Alyssa to head home. I LOVED seeing my boys give their cousin hugs and kisses goodbye! Alyssa would say "hug" and "kiss" so cute whenever she would give them hugs and kisses!!!

Jack caught a kiss on Alyssa's cheek.
While Nick and Luke both got her lips!!!
Good thing they get to come back up for Thanksgiving (and Aunt Allie gets to join them!!!) We can't wait!!!
