Wonderfully Untraditional

That is my family. And with all the extensions of my family, every visit home is action-packed, scheduled down to the last minute. Gina and I decided to both make an impromptu trip to Colorado so that we could see eachother, and the babies too (and of course, our family). Just so happened that Gina had a lay-over in Denver back home from her family vacation to Texas. I had an airline credit and could afford a trip home (because flights to CO from TN are much more expensive than they were from KS).
Macie loved the attention. Where is Luke? In a corner somewhere?
Jay was BRAVE... and so was Gina to allow him to get a...

Mohawk!
Waterplay... Macie jumped in despite the frigid water.

When the water warmed up, all the kids hopped in.
I don't know about everyone else, but I never quit eating.
Mark turned 32. He thinks wine connoseurs are full of crap, so we had a wine tasting... turns out, he prefers the cheap stuff.
Talent show. Macie was supposed to do a dance, and she kind of froze. So, she helped Olivia play the Pink Panther.
Jay, however, did not freeze. He wowed everyone with his crazy break-dancing moves.
Surprise and other impromptu visits by two of my aunts.

Aunt Chicky on the left: VP of Franscesca's boutique. She came bearing gifts.

Aunt Matilda on the right: She's been afraid to fly for like 30 years. She faced her fears and flew to Colorado- yey!

Can you see the love? Macie ADORED Jay. She LOVED Olivia too. Crampa was not feeling the love from Macie. Poor Crampa.
At least somebody loves him!
Bedtime was never easy. See how she responds to "sleep"?
And neither were thrilled about their sleeping arrangement. I caught Macie yelling at Luke during naptime.
Last, but not least, I spent Monday night with my mom. Wine and The Bachelorette. What could be better?
