Fun With Nephews

We've had some fun with some of our nephews lately.

I took my three older kids and Tara's two oldest to the library for a Harry Potter Party last week.  It was a fun time.  Although, we did have a LONG time to wait in LOTS of lines.  Good thing we were just at the small town library and not one of the big city ones.

First, all the kids got tickets for the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 3/4. 

We finally got to the platform (the entrance for the kids' section) and the kids were sorted into houses. 

Abby, Matt, and Brett were sorted into Ravenclaw. 

Emma was sorted into Hufflepuff. 

And Cody was sorted into Slytherin.

They each got some galleon coins to pay for their activities.  They made postcards for the Owl Post, created their own wands, attended a Potions Class, drank butterbeer, and had a Honeydukes treat. 

It was a fun day.

We also got to see Pete, Genica and Brayden this week. Millie was all up in Brayden's business over everything: "No, Braynen! My turn!" or "No, Braynen, my bee (blankie)!" or "Pe'er, (points at Brayden) Braynen!"

Of course, I think he liked pushing some of her buttons too. 

Finally, about five minutes before we left Mom and Dad's house to come home I got a picture to remember the three minutes the two of them got along:

We loved seeing them, even if Millie tattled on Brayden every five seconds.

Now we need to have some fun with our other nephews too!!
