Family Visits

This past weekend, my sister, Heidi and her husband and 7 kids and an extra friend came into town from their home in Tuscan, AZ. We hosted them for a Sunday dinner, along with our baby sister, Kari, and my two nephews and their wife and fiancee, and also my grandniece, Lucy. For a grand total of 23 people for dinner. Did I mention that it rained on Sunday afternoon? So, that meant 23 people for dinner in my house! Along with our 2 dogs and Heidi's dog came to visit too!

But I am not complaining at all...it was so much fun! I think I get it from my mom. I love entertaining. I love hearing all the different conversations going on around me. And all the laughter. The cousins seemed to have so much fun together. They didn't want the night to end, and neither did I. We did some cousin swapping and ended up with 3 more boys, while McKay joined his older cousins for a night in the trailer at Heidi's In-laws. 

I'm glad that they are in town, and I wish we could spend more time with them! I wish they did not live so far away! Most of all, it got me so excited for my upcoming trip with my mom and 4, maybe 5 sisters and one sister-in-law. We are all meeting in Vegas next week! We are celebrating my mother's 70th birthday!

I'm so grateful that I can go and spend time with family! I am sure we will come home with lots of fun stories to tell.
