At the end of November of we took a family vacation to Denver to visit my brother, his wife and their new baby. I was SO excited to meet Lauren for the first time and for Max and Evelyn to meet their first cousin. We weren't disappointed. She is such a little doll and such a good baby! We mostly just hung our around Ty's house since it's hard to do much with 3 little ones, but we did get out a couple of times. Tyler, Matt and I took the Max and Evelyn to the Parade of Lights downtown. It was so cute and the kids loved it. A couple of days later, we all went downtown again. Matt and Tyler grabbed some beers and Ma and I did a little shopping with the kids.

We also got to see Ma's brother David and his family. They had a little boy, Aiden, a couple of months after Lauren was born, so we got to meet another adorable new family member.

It was such a fantastic visit. I hadn't seen Tyler and Ma in two years (!) so we were WAY overdue for a visit. We agreed not to let that much time go by again. I want Max and Evelyn to see their cousin at least once a year. I can't wait to see them all again!
