Saturday with the Grandkids

All five grandkids were here on Saturday, and we had a blast.

Five year-old Hayley reads a book to her cousin Lael. This was precious.

The four oldest kids watch the movie "Mirror, Mirror" on our bed.

The next morning, Hayley dresses for church -- wearing one of Mike's shoes.
