Our visit with Nonna Nonna....

Time to get going on vacation!  WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!  Car is packed and ready, we didn't even need the roof top storage!
On the road and we hit traffic, BOOO!!!
First stop was Nonna's house (my Nonna).  She lives in Northern VA so it was a nice break point from NC.  We left late Friday so got there at around 10:30.  We woke up the next morning and the girls were so excited!  Mya wanted to help Nonna make pancakes. 
 Ryan jumped in real fast and took over!  I mean, he's quite the pro!
Nonna had some of my Aunt Julie's homemade honey.  She's got the bees and all, SO SO GOOD!  And thanks for my jar Aunt Julie, LOVE IT!
While breakfast was cookin, we had some good music, by yours truly.
And after breakfast, Mya made the bed.
After breakfast, we headed outside to run around for a bit.  Ry was chasing the girls. 
 And jumping over them.
Mya found Nonna's hats and wanted to try them on. 
Then we moved on to a little cleaning.  As Ry was outside cleaning the windows, Mya was helping Nonna with the inside ones. 
 All while Ash was playing with this antique stroller...
 ...pushing Bubbles around.
Mya remembered picking tomatoes and green beans from her garden last year, so asked if she could do it again.  The rabbits and animals have been eating all of her veggies this year though.  We went outside to see if we could find anything.  Nada. 
 Aunt Anne came to visit with goodies for the girls, THANK YOU!  Mya was having her do all sorts of coloring and copying her pics that she was drawing.  It was so cute!
 Nonna made ice pops for the girls out of orange juice, the girls were LOVING THEM!  They had 3 each that day, lol!
Mya was making this go as fast as she could, I remember doing that when I was a kid.
Charles came by too.  Mya was having so much fun with "Charler!"
Mya wanted to snap a few pics, but Ash didn't want to cheese... 
 ...but she smiles for smooches!
 CHEESE!
 Amanda came by for a quick visit, she had to work.  Isn't she just too cute?!
 Mya was putting flowers in Nonna's hair...
 ...and hats on Josh, my other cousin who came to visit.  It was so nice to see everyone when we stopped through.  We really missed you Bill, next time for sure!
 LOL! 
 Mya and Charles were playing some music. 
And Ash found the oreos, so hid in the dining room to eat them.
 HEYYYYYY
 NO PICS!
 The girls must have pulled out all the things they found upstairs.  Ok maybe not everything cause Nonna has a TON!  But they were loving what they did find.
 Mya seriously LOVED Charles.  Right before he left I tried to get Ash in there too, but she wouldn't sit down for it.
 So cute!!!!
 with Ash now.
Nonna gave them their tub and she was cracking up a them.  They were putting on quite the show, it was really cute. 
I really wish we lived closer Nonna.  It's so nice to see my girls with you.  I truly cherish these visits we get and think we should really get down there more.  Love you and thanks for everything while we were there.  xoxo
