Family Pictures

For Christmas, Justin and Leslie surprised Maxyne with an appointment for family pictures in May. It not only included a large group picture and a shot of the grandchildren, but also individual family pictures which we are super grateful for. 

Majorly impressive that Jami captured this picture within seconds and all 26 of us are looking AND smiling.

Thanks for the pictures Justin and Leslie!!

And more...

I found more from my May/June trip. Aye aye aye. I'm so disorganized with my pictures!

Skyler was a good sport with her no so helpful helper

Bentlee with Jackson, my BFF Ashley's baby

Soulmates?

Blurry phone picture, but I love it!

Playing with big girl toys

Feeding papa

Making faces with daddy while Face Timing

I went for a few bike rides with my dad, and one day we rode 15 miles to the Riverdale library and back. It brought back tons of memories as I spent many Saturday mornings here growing up.

Bentlee's first time eating Grandma's pancakes! She is a big fan.

Can you tell how much Bentlee adores her cousins?

Papa took us to the airport and sat with us until we needed to go through security

I couldn't resist buying this hideous bear for her, partly because she screamed when I took it away, but mostly because it said Michigan

Since I can't keep my trips straight, here's a jumble of pictures from Michigan sometime in the last 6ish months.

Katie and her daughter met us for lunch one day. Love when I get to see her!

 

Both of my grandma's are able to rock Bentlee to sleep every time we go home. It's so sweet.

She learned to climb stairs at my grandma's, and then a couple months later learned to go down them in the very same place

I can't even begin to describe the nostalgia as I watched Bentlee dig through my grandma's toy box

Have I mentioned that my brother is coming TONIGHT and staying with us for a week? And then Bentlee and I are flying back with him and staying in MI for a week and I get to meet my new nephew?? Unbelievably excited!!
