It was the first time my family had all been together since my brother Jeremy's wedding almost 20 months ago so it was just great to hang out again. Jeremy and his wife Erin were around for a couple days, Stephen and his wife Melissa were able to stay a little longer, and Mo and I were able to spend a couple days with my sister Julia and my parents at the end before our week was up. We spent a lot of time playing card and board games, spent an afternoon skating/playing pond hockey, napped, read books, and took turns beating each other in Mario Kart (I got an ancient Nintendo 64 for Christmas off of ebay).

We've got a bunch of great pictures but I think I'll hold out for a few days before posting them so that I can post some pics from up here with Mo's family as well.
