The Mackay Cousins come over

Our 2nd cousins (meaning my mom's cousins), the Mackays, came over!!!
There is:  Aunt Joanna, Uncle Andy, Brooke, Jessica and Austin.
They came late Friday night, at their hotel.
The next day, we visited with them.
First we went to the Gilbert House.
We had a lot of fun.
Then we went next door to the carousel.
I found out that they had taken my favorite horse, Magic, off to make room for a Christmas horse named "Glad Tidings".
Some hard world, huh?
 We rode twice, playing the "ring game"- see older post.
Then they invited us over to their hotel to swim in their pool, and we had a lot of fun swimming there!
Then they came to our house to play and have dinner.
Frankie had a lot of fun with them, too, and vice versa.
We had homemade hamburgers and french fries with purple grapes and raw veggies.
Me and Jessica played and, with everyone else, watched Pete's Dragon.
Then we made Jessica's bed on the black "futon" in my room.  We also made Austin's bed in Christopher's room and Brooke slept on the hide-a-bed in the living room.
Uncle Andy and Aunt Joanna drove back to the hotel.
We were just about to go to sleep when... pause for effect...
IT STARTED TO SNOW!!!
We all went outside to enjoy some fresh air and snowflakes, then mom read us some stories aloud, then went to bed.

When we woke up the next day (Sunday), we looked outside and guess what?
EVERYTHING WAS COVERED IN GLORIOUS SNOW!!!
Church was canceled due to the hazardous driving conditions :(
Anyways, we had a wonderful snowday off.
 Brooke and Julianna sledding down our driveway!
 
Dad's best friend, Bradley Jackson, came over and surprised us.
He pulled a HILARIOUS prank by walking to our house and writing SCOT on the snow in the car window and hiding.
We didn't know it was him until he came and told us, L.O.L!!!

Him and I built an awesome snowman that was too tall to last until 3:30 p.m. *sob*
 Bradley rolling the snowman's head- he's so tall, we only got him up to his mouth...  silly silly silly!
 
It was a great snowman, anyway.  It was about 6 feet tall!
 
 
The Bassetts came over later and we played.
Later everyone went home.
We had dinner, watched a Book of Mormon movie, and went to bed.
