We love visits from Family!

After a very long drive from Virginia, my family arrived at our house the Saturday evening before Easter. Sunday morning we woke up and watched General Conference for our church, where all the leaders of our church speak to members around the world. None of the kids in my family have ever watched conference so we were very impressed that James, my little brother, Jossie, my niece, and Keiley, another niece sat through one whole session and played the listening bingo game. They were good sports to sit and listen with us so we could follow our normal routine.

After Conference, we played outside together while we waited for Easter dinner to finish cooking. All the cousins drew on the driveway with chalk and then started running through the bushes in the front of our house. Kyle got the camera out and we had a little impromptu photo shoot.

We told Gabs to give her cousin Keiley a hug and this is what she did. She must have seen Kyle and I do that so many times that she just assumed that's how you give hugs. Well, probably not. I think she just wanted to hug her that way.

These two had loads of fun together.

We tried to get all the kids together but this was the best shot we got. It is really hard trying to get numerous kids to look at the camera all at the same time.

Going on an adventure through the bushes in the front yard...

"Hey this is awesome...Mom doesn't ever let me do this!"

Then all the kids wanted to have a shoulder ride...

Our best family shot. Gabs and Noah were pretty tired of pictures by this point so it was almost a waste of time.

Me and my mom...

Thanks for coming to visit guys! More pictures of the week with family to come.
