Last year I had a post, "Santa in Da House". Well let me tell you that having Bendrea in da house is an even more exciting event around here!
Andrea is Tom's sister, and Ben is her husband. My kids love them. Like LOVE them. Tom and I are especially convinced that Andrea has some special magical power over children. She's so mild and chill, but there's something about her that kids are completely drawn too. Claire once told us we could call her "Minnie Mouse, Barbie Girl, or Andrea"--the most prestigious titles in her mind.
Their main reason for coming in to town was for a work retreat, but they came a couple days early to spend time with us. We're so glad they did!
A day at our local amusement/water park
(Andrea, Reese, & Ben. Can you spot 'em? ;)
An evening at Bombay Clay Oven with some great (and hilarious) conversation.
Ben shares my love for Indian food so we didn't have to try too hard to convince them to go there.
A picture I stole from their blog of the field next to our house. The sunflowers were in perfect bloom while they were here.
Another picture I stole from their blog that makes me laugh. They were driving away and we obviously didn't know they were taking it. I love headless Tom and me licking my dinner from my teeth.

Awkward Family Photos, here you come. Are you sure "picture boy" didn't take that photo. I want that one for my wall, along with "bodyless" Ben. Unfortunately our "twin" Smith's shopping photo is gone forever.
Thanks for the blog love! We had a GREAT time in Colorado, and LOVED spending time with the Tomchel clan. I hope we can do it again soon.
