Big Birthday Bash!

The birthday party went really well and Aaron and I were so thankful that our entire family was able to come celebrate with Jenna and Brody. We had a nice time catching up with everyone. I tell you though, I was completely exhausted by Saturday nite. Everything went so smoothly and everybody pitched in, but I was still in bed at 10 PM. For the record, we were ALL in bed about that time.

I think it could have been the big boys (Aaron, Justin, Mitch) vs. girls (Jamie, Mandy, Jess) volleyball showdown that did us in! We headed up to the gym and played three games of volleyball and I am proud to say the girls won everytime. Seriously, not even close! Could have used more of a challenge boys!!

Thanks to everybody who made the trip! You made our kids' birthdays extra special and for that we are grateful! Here are some pics of the big day:
