sunday morning we got up and went to church with the family. we had gotten in around 10:30pm the night before so we were tired (especially matt after driving for almost 20 hours), but it wasn't too bad to get up and get going.
madelyn was so excited to get to see her cousins! and i was excited to meet our two new nephews who were born after our last visit two years ago!

after church, everyone went home for naps before a big family dinner at big pop and grandma's that night. since the kids weren't tired, they were entertained by big pop and grandma.

and then everyone else arrived. there were 8 kids - madelyn is the oldest at 4 and maddux is the youngest at 9/10 months - it was a little crazy to say the least. uncle brad and uncle josh helped to get everyone riled up too.

uncle josh was already worn out by the time i saw what was going on, but he pumped out a few more for me to get some video. the kids loved it!

It was wonderful and you captured it so well. We loved every minute of the visit!! We have some beautiful grandchildren!!!
That had to be like a dream come true for your parents- all their kids with their spouses and kids! And some extended relatives, too!
