Elvin's parents flew up for the weekend to visit. Two weeks ago, we had told Eliana that they were coming and she'd been asking ever since, "Are they coming today?" It's hard to explain the concept of "They're coming in 2 weeks" to a 2-year old. They finally arrived and took Eliana shopping. She noticed that Nai-nai wore a scarf, so she wanted one too. She got one and many other new clothes at the outlets.
Eliana also wanted a watch. We looked for a digital one, but the only ones in stock were Barbie watches. On the other hand, they had analog watches with ladybugs and Eliana opted for that.
She checked her watch constantly thoughout the day. Things to do and people to see, I guess.
And Eliana also got some cool rainboots.
Eliana played around with Yeh-yeh. One of her favorite things to do is to go grocery shopping. She pretends our living room is Costco, beeps when putting things past an imaginary scanner and has a fake debit card she uses to pay with.
On Saturday, we went out to eat at a German restaurant. Eliana had cheese fondue for the first time. Karina had to settle for her rice cereal. She has in the past few days acquired an immense appettite. She will eats bowls and bowls of rice cereal, even after breastfeeding. Here she is looking longingly at french fries. She is very interested in food and sometimes gets very mad when we don't give her any of ours.
Later in the evening, we celebrated Nai-nai's birthday. Eliana helped to blow out the candles. It took about 5 tries to get that last one out. 
It was a full but fun weekend. You might have noticed that there are no pictures of the grandparents holding Karina. That's because Karina has decided that strangers are scary. Only mommy or daddy or her sister are acceptable right now. We'll see how long this lasts...
