A Valentine Reunion- Without Us!

 All of the grandchildren were out of school over Valentine/ President's Day weekend.  Kristen, who lives in Colorado, decided to put her kids in their huge van and take them to visit Michelle and Brian in South Jordan.  She wanted to spend time with her sisters, let the cousins have time together, and see Brian and Michelle's new home.  They had such a fun, long weekend together. She arrived on Wednesday night. Shonna and Blake and family came down from Logan and joined them all day on Saturday.  Oh, how we would have loved to be with them.  But Miss Corona kept us home and enjoying it all virtually.  We so appreciate them photographing and filming the fun for us.  We were constantly getting texts, videos, photos, phone calls, and emails throughout the weekend.

Blogger.com has a mind of it's own.  No matter what order I put the pictures in, it scrambles them.  I would love to have pictures on here in the order they happened, but Blogger doesn't feel good about that for some reason.  So, following is a mishmash potpourri of pictures from the fun they had.  Rather than spend many hours trying to make Blogger obey, I'm just going to go with it.

They celebrated Lissy's 2nd birthday

Such fun cousin time

Saturday was a big, full day.  They had heart-shaped pizza for dinner.

Three happy sisters:  Michelle, Shonna, and Kristen.  They love to be together.

They made and decorated Valentine cookies.

I love this picture of Michelle and Lily Kay

And this one of the always expressive Sammy

On Saturday afternoon, they decorated Valentine sugar cookies.  William loved the sprinkles and applied them liberally.

Jaron loves to make a funny face for pictures

I think this was Friday that they went for a walk.

Warm enough for trampoline jumping?  I guess so.

The highlight of the visit was the Valentine Dance on Saturday night.  The Mackrorys have done a Valentines Dance in their family since their kids were tiny.  The whole crowd adopted the tradition this year and had a blast.  The kids helped prepare the decorations earlier in the week.  Everyone had a great time!

Well, except maybe Sammy

Such a sweet picture of Hannah and Kenny

You can almost hear the music

The cutest video of the dance was sent on Marco Polo, so  I can't post their cute line dance, but this one is cute, too.  

Michelle and Brian's new large family room downstairs made a great party venue.

Ah, here they are cutting out and making the decorations.

Little Lissy can catch some air

Nathan and Kenny

Oh, so now we're back to the pizza.

Isn't this one cute of Bria and Jake?

The kids had Monday off, too, but the weather forecast looked iffy for Monday, so Kristen decided to drive home on Sunday after church.  While eating one of those sugar cookies on Saturday, one of Michelle's molars broke.  So, the Princes headed to Logan on Monday for Michelle to get her tooth fixed by Blake and for Blake to start the process for Gabbi's braces, and for more cousin fun, of course.  I love all of the snow pictures.  Just across from Shonna and Blake's home is a "gully"- perfect for sledding.  Everyone had so much fun!  Thank you for the great pictures!

This little dude!

Snow Queen Gabriella

Cute little Gabe can't even see under his dad's hat.

Kenny and Hannah

Go Lily

This is one of my favorites!  How I love all of these kids!

William

Jaron

I MUST beat my cousin down the hill!

Beautiful Michelle

I wonder who won?

Shonna and Michelle

Jaron and Caleb battle it out

Brian must have been the photographer because he is not in any of these great shots.

I love that our kids and their families love to be together.  Fun family times!!!
