Grant and Jonny-Arizona Trip

I had such a great time visiting my brother Grant and cute little pregnant Jonny!  I love them so much and they totally spoiled me on my weekend out there.  I had a great time!  

 Full of shopping at Last Chance-the Nordstrom "last chance" shopping outlet

 Jonny made supremely gourmet food for me the entire trip!

 Homemade yogurt parfaits

Even without Jonathan there, at the "couples" Valentine Dance, going stag was still fun.  I can't help myself.

 Grandkids obviously do too.  

The best part of being with Grandma are the hugs and snuggles.
