full house

It's been awhile since our house has been full of guest.

Since family has come through our doors, hugging and laughing and creating new memories.

It's been too long since Wayne has embraced his mother, brother and sister, and shared with him the joys of his new little family. But time stopped still the moment they arrived and our house became cozy and full and happy.

The kids just loved having these guest in our home. They were cuddled, and loved and tossed around.

They smiled and laughed and wanted to be with their aunt and uncles every minute!

Wayne's mom, Pat, meeting her sweet granddaughter for the first time. I love this picture of them!

When everyone first arrived we took them out to dinner and they all wanted to walk through Temple Square downtown. It was a cold night but it was so much fun walking through the Square and visiting all of the centers down there.

There seriously was never a dull moment with our family here! Chase loved watching and being with everyone! He was definitely entertained the entire time our guest were here!

Who can resist some good old home cooking from your mama? The Crowder"s and their cooking... yumm!

Chase and his best buddy Uncle Derek.

This was his best pal. Both boys just loved having their Uncle around. From the moment they woke up to the time they went to bed, they were by Derek's side. They could not get enough of him!

Emily and her boyfriend Jeff, aka soon to be fiancée. They are a cute cute couple and we were so happy that Jeff was able to make it out on this trip and meet the family!

We love having company over, especially when it is family! It really meant a lot to Wayne to have his family finally come up and see where we live, to see our cute family and to share in our wonderful moments. I know he misses his family a lot and this was a wonderful weekend shared with great people!
