London- Round 4

my baby sister came to visit us in November... it is her 4th time to London! with us living here, how could she NOT come, right!? i heard a rumor that they were thinking of giving her dual citizenship, or maybe hiring her to be a tour guide. :)

anyways, she got in around 2 in the afternoon, the boys were SO excited to see her, they showed her around the house, all their toys, their beds, etc, etc, she hardly had time to sit down. she was worried if she sat down she would fall asleep, so we decided to go do something 'london-y' and try to keep her up for a few hours.

the first thing i did was have her take a picture of all 4 of us- since most of our pictures are of 3 of us at a time :)

we went to see big ben, parliament, and Westminster abbey

another family picture

she stayed for a little over a week, and we had a TON of fun. it was nice for me to have her here to go shopping with, see the sights, and just hang out with. almost every night after jonathan got home from work, her and i would go out and play. she also watched the boys one night so jonathan and i could go on our first date in about 3 months!

we did lots of shopping, and walking

we went to see Wicked, it was amazing, phenomenal, fantastic, best show ever!

we all went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park... giving auntie some lovin'

she was here for thanksgiving, which we had at our friends house, we had a lot of fun, and great food!

and of course PLENTY of play time! marilyn is so great with the boys, she loves them so much, and it shows! they completely adore her too, she is always so much fun to play with!

some other things that we did, that i don't have pictures for were:

-a visit to Highgate, where she lived when she was going to school here, complete with dinner at her favorite pub.

-changing of the guards at Buckingham palace, and a glimpse of the queen as she was leaving the palace!

-Portobello market

- Jack the Ripper walking tour

-shopping at Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Regents Street, PRIMARK

-Harrods

-lots and lots and lots of walking

i feel so grateful to have such an amazing sister, I'm so glad that we're so close, we had so much fun together! it was hard to watch her leave!

thanks for coming to visit 't,' blake and adam were in heaven (they miss you tons), we love you lots!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!
