So much fun!!!!!

It is hard to believe that Stefanie and the kids were here for 11 days and it is over already. We had the best time with them. I had over 600 pictures so I had to pick just a few to post. This is a very small peek at all of the fun we had!!!!!
Alex and Cameron were always together. If you found one of them the other one was right behind.
Rena and Maleah decided they liked Hershey this time. Normally they aren't to happy to see the dog but this time they enjoyed helping feed her and petting her in the house.
Megan loved to just lay on the couch at night with the girls. They always looked so happy and snuggly just laying there resting.
Maleah loves to take pictures. She was taking them of everyone and everything. I am sure they will have fun looking at all of her work when they get home.
Megan and Rena enjoyed wearing their matching shirts. They looked so cute in them.
The kids all enjoyed riding the quads in the back yard. Mike took Cameron around the first time but he quickly decided he could ride the small one on his own. He did a great job riding it.
Maleah had a great time also. She didn't get to ride alone but she had a lot of fun riding with Mike and Megan.
Alex and Cameron coming around the corner. It looked like they were having so much fun.
Megan and Maleah pulling up to switch riders.
Stefanie made Megan an early birthday cake and the girls did an awesome job decorating it. It was Megan's favorite seven minute frosting and all of the sprinkels that the girls could find in the cupboard.
Craig, Lisa, and the kids came over on Friday night. We had dinner and then everyone road the quads and the kids beat the adults at a few games of basketball.
We decided to go to the Daffodil parade on Saturday. Stef hadn't been in years and it wasn't raining so we made the annual trip to McDonalds and then walked over and watched the parade for awhile.
Jacob got to go to the parade with us also so we got a picture of everyone. This was the best we could get. Everyone decided to smile at different times!!!!!
Maleah, Megan, and Stefanie watching all of the excitement.
Stacy, Rena, Megan and Maleah enjoying the parade also.
Megan loved how the girls held on to her pockets when we were walking. They didn't want to get lost and she had told them to hold onto her so that is what they did. :)
Maleah and Rena were so happy when the strawberries finally got cut. We were trying to see how many we could fit in the bowl.
Mike and Stefanie played Cribbage several times. Stefanie kept winning so they kept playing. Mike wouldn't just smile for a picture so this is the best you get. That is his happy look and he is even losing!!!!!
We had a campfire on Saturday night and made a lot of marshmellows and smores. Rena was having a great time roasting the marshmellows and Bonnie was giving her the graham crackers.
Megan, Me, and Stefanie. We are eating our very tasty smores. They were so good. Bonnie, Cameron and Stefanie sitting by the fire.
All of the kids outside. I guess the fire was keeping them warm because it was cold out and they don't have very good jackets on.
Bad news here!!!!! This is the very last picture we took before heading to the airport. We had the best time with everyone at the house. The kids truly enjoy each other and get along so well. It is so much fun to watch all of them. It constantly reminds me of how much fun I always had with my cousins. Those are some of the best memories. I hope the kids will all remember these times as they get older. We cried before we left the house and we cried at the airport. No big surprise to anyone there. Everyone has made it back home now though so I guess we will just look forward to seeing them this summer. It will be here before you know it!!!!!!!
