When the Smith Family Visits

My younger brother and his family and my older sister came to visit this past week.  Dusty was here for over a week from Indiana and Shannon came up for five days from California.  It was fun to have all of my siblings together. 

Friday night everyone came to our house for dinner.  I was a little concerned as to how I was going to feed 20 people at my house, but we managed.

After dinner we played the ‘Minute to  Win It’ Oreo game that I was introduced to in Indiana.  Jennie proved to be the queen of the game, managing to get the Oreo into her mouth both times, under a minute!  Everyone had lots of fun trying though!

After the game we attempted to take a family picture… well, there was pinching and other shenanigans, but we tried our very best.

Saturday we went to Jumping Jacks and the kids and Dusty ran around crazy and had tons of fun.  I went down the big slide once, just to prove I could do it (sorry, no picture).

Elle wasn’t feeling so well, so she stayed close to her mom and dad and ate grapes.

After Jumping Jacks we went to my parents’ for a family dinner and Family Home Evening.  We also celebrated Lauren, Stephanie, Kate and Avery’s birthdays!

We loved having family in town and Dylan and Avery especially loved playing with their cousins.  We also went rabbit hunting on Thursday and bowling on Friday, but I am waiting to get those pictures from my sister.
