Pioneer Day

For Pioneer Day we all gathered at Gram and Papa Kevin's as we usually do on Sunday evenings. I cannot express enough my GRATITUDE for the opportunity to live close to my in-laws. I never grew up close to my grandparents and only saw them about once a year. I'm so glad that my girls get to spend time with their grandparents every Sunday and create these memories with them. We live close enough to my mom and her husband that we see them every few months, if not more. I am so grateful for their involvement in our girls' lives.

And Vicki goes the extra mile when it comes to holidays. The food is wonderful (Kevin often helps with this part), the house is decorated, and there's always fun games.

The three-legged race, for example. This was the first time my girls had tried something like this and it was hilarious!

I love that they match.

Charlotte paired up with her Dad and probably had no idea why on earth he was tying her leg to his, but she went along with it anyway.

David and I raced Rod and Josh, and WON.
(I've learned that if I'm going to be David's partner in anything, we better win!)

Then we played "Pin the Nose on the Pioneer"

I think we were cheering her in this picture which always makes her feel shy and a little bit angry.

What a wonderful Pioneer Day, thanks to our wonderful family.
