Family time...

My incredible nieces are absolute angels!! They are so helpful and fun and take such good care of all the younger kids....I LOVE them so much!!!

Our goofy, goofy girl!
Clara adores her cousins. She said that she missed them already when we had just started the long drive back home :(

A couple rare family photos that my sister took. The girls had just visited Santa, so they had on matching shirts...

Uncle Joe being silly with Aunt Julie

The big Just Dance competition....

Even Boppa tried to win a round!

It is a serious workout! I only lasted one round, then had to sit down to rest. Clara made it through several songs and really got the hang of it with Darien's help. Darien can win every round, even while helping Clara. She even won one round with her eyes closed because she had the dance memorized!

My beautiful soon-to-be sis-in-law and beautiful niece

Eliza and her Nana. She would call for Nana in the morning, and loved to be in the kitchen on the counter while Nana was cooking!

Great Papa with some of his great-grandchildren

My brothers and sisters (minus Tommy) with our Papa

Nana has a stair for each grandchild that leads up to the playroom...

Darien and Monica gave the girls blanket rides all over the house, then they all stopped for a rest and pictures...

Me and my sister

Heidi, Boppa and Nana

Me and my sweet buddy, Monica. This girl loves to make plans and eat candy with me!

Joe's sweet family

Clara gives Aunt Molly such long hugs that she usually has to sit down at some point!

These three played princesses, dolls, colored, chased, had sleepovers and watched movies together all weekend

Clara and Chloe put on a singing show for us after Thanksgiving dinner...

which quickly turned into a dance party, complete with breakdancing moves!

Eliza entertained us all with the "baby" in her tummy!

Clara snuggling her "MonMon" :)

We had such a fun visit and have lots of special memories of the time we got to spend with family!
