Kids “Welcome” Buckets

Goodies for the kids (nieces, nephew, and our girls)

I love having family come visit us!  🙂  Earlier this year Jake’s sister and her family came to stay with us for a couple weeks.  The kids LOVED having extra time playing together.

Before they arrived I picked out some buckets for the kids, put their names on it, and had them ready for their arrival.  Every day all five kids got a little toy, items, candy, etc…. in their buckets.  As you can see from the picture the first day the kids got their buckets, a new water bottle with their names on it, and marshmallow twist candy.

The kids had a blast checking their buckets every day.  Before long the buckets were overflowing with goodies.  I had a lot of fun putting together the treats for the kids too!

I am thankful for the opportunity to spend a little extra time with family.  It is always fun being able to “spoil” my nieces and nephews for a few days.  A lot of great memories were made during their time at our house!
