It's that time of year again! Last week our house was packed full with seven kids and four adults, as my sister and her family came for their annual visit. This year was especially special because it was their first time seeing our new house, and of course getting to meet baby C!
(A is pretty happy about having another girl cousin!)
We started off the trip with a two night camping trip up at the lake, like we normally do. I was a little nervous about having an 8 week old out camping but C was a trooper and went with the flow with no problem!
It was also nice that all the kids, except C, are pretty much old enough that we don't have to monitor their every move. And the older ones are old enough to keep an eye on the younger ones, which means the parents all get a bit of a break!

After camping my kids had school so we spent a lot of time just hanging out and letting the kids go swimming, but we did take a trip to the zoo and let our kids play hooky for that!
And the we wrapped the whole trip up with an Easter celebration before they had to leave on Sunday.

The kids all did Easter eggs (so much dye everywhere! But only a few broken eggs, so overall it was a win!), and then the Bunny brought them baskets and hid the eggs. I was really proud of how well the older kids did at taking the Easter egg hunt slow and making sure the little ones got to find the majority.
And after all the eggs were found (I hope, fingers crossed!), we sat around and ate all the yummy food before everyone had to head to the airport. It was an amazingly good visit, and our house seems way to quiet now that everyone is gone!
And of course I have to close this post by mentioning it was baby C's first Easter! Doesn't she look adorable?
