We Are Family

When our family from Nebraska comes to visit...
let me just say...
the times are fun-filled!

Seriously...we love them so!
Wish we could hang out with them all the time!

My aunt Jeanne and cousin Amber brought their clan out to visit...

Amber's 3 beautiful kids l-o-v-e the movie Mamma Mia.
Love it!
And they have all the Abba songs memorized!
It is so precious and funny hearing them sing along to all the songs!
Emma is the oldest and she's 6...or 7?-
so hearing a 7, 5, and 2 year old sing Abba is awesome...
I recommend it!

By the end of our time together,
Allikaye was singing,
"Mamma Mia...here I go again...my my!"

We started off our fun by visiting The North Pole.
It was rainy, so the place was a little more like Christmas!
We have gone here since we were little,
so it is fun to see a picture like this -
when it used to be us on the sleigh!

There were lots of rides that Allikaye could ride...
she was a brave cookie!

Here are the girls hugging a reindeer...
we got to see real ones too,
oh yes we did.

Hugging a snowman...

Fun train ride with Addie...

Allikaye's favorite girls...
Emma and Addie!

Oh, and the infamous North Pole!
It is really made out of ice and snow...
grandma's licking it...can you see?
Hmmm....

Oh here's a close up of the popular grandma!!
Good pic, mom!

Then we ventured into Denver the next day for some
fun at Casa Bonita...the pink castle.

They have cliff diving peeps...
which was entertaining...
and so were the glowy spinny things...

Allikaye just loves being with this fam!

Here is out front...
Luke, Addie, Emma, and Allikaye...

We also went to the aquarium...
did some antique shopping...
just Amber and me shopping...
and just plain had a good time!

Thanks for coming out, you Nebraskans!
And thanks for teaching my daughter Abba,
nothing beats that!!
