Friends like family

What a fun week we shared with our friends the Jeffries.  Friends since WAY back in college, is was great to reconnect.  We've actually been able to do this a few times over the years so they are certainly not strangers to the kids.  We took the week off of school so the kids could play, the men could hunt and the women could scrapbook a few pages while trying to keep our sanity!  It was a FULL house with all these people squeezed in but it was full of laughs, love, stories and food as well.

The boys got along famously and spent  many, many hours locked in their room with the Legos.  Most shocking was that there were no requests to play video games ALL WEEK!!  Unheard of!  Just don't expect to see the carpet on their bedroom floor - it was replaced with the Legos.

These two girls were the biggest surprise.  Boo is usually tagging along with the older kids and their friends but doesn't have many close playmates.  All week these two were off playing pretend happily and expanding their adorable imaginations.  Goose got into the mix as well but she really bounced between the girls, boys and even the adults (going hunting once with "Grandpa Skip" to keep him company).

Everyone is already scheming to see if we can make another reunion next fall.
