Family Time

Last week we got to spend some much needed time with my brother and his wife Holly. They were in town for a short visit from Newport, Rhode Island. The last time they were here was Snowmagedon in January. We miss them so much!

Matt, my brother, is seriously one big kid. He loves to laugh and play. You cannot help but laugh when you are around him. Holly is his perfect match. They are seriously super cute together, and I am so thankful that my brother found such an amazing woman to be his wife.

We spent the afternoon in the sunshine playing ladder ball, shooting nerf guns,  eating potato chips and drinking yummy drinks.

 Matt and Holly went to Big 5 and found this enormous camping chair! It can hold two adults comfortably. Jack looks so tiny in it!

Jack adores his Uncle Matt and loved having him around to play with.

The kids all grown up!

For dinner we enjoyed delicious veggie burgers, a grilled onion and lots of laughs. It feels so good to have the family together again. We enjoyed a fire and some s'mores after dinner before it was time to take the little guys home for bed.

S'mores! We eat them gluten free at Papa's house, so no graham crackers :)

Being together and spending time with Matt and Holly reminds me of how blessed we are. We are blessed that we have great relationships that continue to grow and flourish as we grow into adulthood. I am thankful for my family and how they support me. I am thankful I can call them my friends. We miss Matt and Holly and are lobbying hard for a west coast move!
