One week later...

Last weekend we made our annual Portland trip for SuperBowl sunday - stayed with our amazing friends Josh & Suzanne (with a friday night layover at Nan & Pops! thank you !!!). Their beautiful home was filled with 42 people on sunday - 16 of them were under 5 yrs of age!! And you know what? J&S's oldest girls, Sam and Emma were such AMAZING helpers with the younger kids, it really was not that chaotic... or at least not what you would imagine with that many kids! We LOVE this little tradition and treasure each and every memory from our trips to stay with the Mac's. Our kids are in absolute Heaven playing with their 4 girls, and Jack who is just 6 months older than Jake. FUN TIMES!!!
My dear friend Suzanne and I managed to take a LOT of pictures - she's awesome!
