A Fun Weekend in Minnesota

This past weekend we took a trip to Minnesota to visit my family! We had such a great time!

Macy finally got to meet her Aunt Josie. Macy jumped and danced circles around Josie, and for the most part Josie just tolerated her. Poor old doggie!

Saturday evening, we had a few people over for a party! We made tacos and guacamole dip! Definitely one of my favorite meals in the world! Julie provided some of the night's entertainment by showing us her flying taco trick with the help of Adam. ;) After supper, we played Family Feud! It's a DVD game and it's so much fun! We played boys against girls. The girls won the first round and the boys all pronounced the game as "stupid" but agreed to play best-out-of-three. After that, the boys went on to win the next two rounds! :P It was really fun, though! :)

Later, when we were done playing the Feud, Mom brought out birthday cakes and everyone sang to Jason, Jordan and me. :) It was funny because we each had our own 'cake' since Mom had made two cakes (because of having so many people over) and an apple crisp (because Jordan doesn't like cake very much).


The party on one side of the room...

...and on the other side of the room.

When it was time to blow out our candles, Jason blew mine out before I could! :(

Here's all the girls from the party (except Mom): Jess, Me, Tara, Julie, and Julia

And here's all the boys from the party: Jordan, Adam, Jason, Justin, and Taylor

Our whole family (Jordan, Me, Jess, Jason, Kaden, Julia, Julie, and Mom)

Sunday afternoon Jason, Jordan, and I opened birthday presents

We girls thought that the gift bag from Julia was so pretty, so I took a picture with it! Haha!

I do have several more pictures (some of Kaden and some of our shooting expeditions) from the weekend, but I don't have time to post them now! So, stay tuned, I guess! Haha!
