Visiting Family

Last weekend we traveled to the east side of Michigan to celebrate my cousin Molly's graduation party, or as Lauren called it, "Molly's wedding." Both girls had so much fun playing with all of my cousin's, aunts, and Grandma. I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to sit down and chat with relatives because so many other people were helping me with the girls. Lauren loved playing with my cousin, Jessie. Jess showed Lauren Abby, the kitty, and chased Lauren around for quite some time. She even helped Lauren pick out the best desserts.



Annie was very content spending time on my cousin, Brad's lap. Brad lived with Aunt Stephanie for a few years out of college, so he is pretty laid back and can handle most anything. (Love ya, Steph!)

Cousin Will, Molly, and Sam and Silly Aunt Debbie and Aunt Mary Kay played with both girls too. I just didn't get photos of them. Lauren is still talking about all the fun she had over a week later! Especially with all the Dora gear Aunt Debbie got for her.



On Sunday Aunt Sarah hosted a picnic for us. What a FANTASTIC summer spread she had. As always, the food and company were wonderful. Lauren loved playing with all the toys and was even given some new summer clothes (which she actually needed), a car she can ride in, and a giant doll house complete with people and furnishings. We are so lucky to have such a generous family.


Lauren LOVED the corn and I left there wishing I would have had more strawberry shortcake, even though I was stuffed.

Thanks to everyone for such a fun couple of days. All of the food, company, and gifts were and are still being thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Great Gram and Papa Bruce for letting us invade their house for a few days too!
