Kansas City Visit - February 2014

Whew! I have been a TERRIBLE blogger. Things got a little crazy over the last few months. Since my last post in March, I've traveled back to the midwest 5 times! Everything has been really fun, but has made for a crazy schedule over the past few months. I'm going to try and catch up on my blogging by uploading a lot of pictures. I hope to go back and add stories to the blogs, but for now I'm going to stick with pictures and some captions to try and catch up!

Enjoy!

Courtney showing off her roller skating skills!

Edee usually starts off a little shy during our visits. Breaks my heart that we can't visit more often to eliminate this! She always warms up though and we had a great time!

Mallory showing off her skills! She had been taking lessons. Well worth the money with all the skating birthday parties she was getting invited too! She was getting the hang of it!

Freeze!

Group skate!

Mallory looking VERY determined!

Edee having fun watching and playing with Papa! I'm sure next time we go, she'll be flying around the skating rink!

Steve skated too! I think he just borrowed Chase's skates...Glad he got out there with Mallory!

After skating, we went to a newer brewpub in KC. Kansas City Bier Company. As you might have guessed, all of their beer is german style. My favorite was the dry-hopped belgian style ale.

Christmas present time! It wasn't really Christmas, but Chase and I held onto the girls' gifts so we could see them open them. So much more fun that way!

There MUST be a show after dinner and gifts!

Chase got involved too! He's a great Uncle!

Aunt Tina!

We love all of our family so much! We are so blessed to have them! I can't wait until we can move closer and see them more often!
