Midwest meets West! What a success!

This was a pretty spectacular weekend. Our Chicago nieces came out to California for the first time and met their West Coast counterparts. It was a whirlwind of giggles, screams, and ridiculous amounts of fun. Before we forget all the highlights, here are just a few of our favorite moments:


1. Endless amounts of kisses and hugs from our favorite girls
2. "Dads vs. Nieces" soccer smack down at the park
3. Learning how to make friendship bracelets again
4. Responding to endless shouts of "Aunt Mary! Aunt Mary!" from all locations

5. Watching cousins make fast friends at the pool
6. Nightly living room "dance parties" to Justin Bieber
7. Learning that one round of "twinkle, twinkle, little star" is the exact amount of time needed to secure a temporary tattoo

8. Singing rounds and rounds of "You are my sunshine"

9. Finding our missing Jenga piece inside Uncle B's guitar (thanks Kylie!)

10. Having the family all together in our backyard, grilling Italian sausages
