A couple of weeks ago our friends/ family came up for a visit. We celebrated the New Year and had such an amazing time catching up and kissing each other’s babies. It’s always such an epic event when we all get together. Between all of us, there are 6 adults and 9 kids and it’s always a new level of loud. We balance nap schedules, snack times and always manage to have the most fun we’ve had all year. The only downside to having such a big party is the amount of time that it takes us to get jackets on, fix car seats, have 3423 potty breaks and buckle up our seatbelts. It’s always a feat but it’s totally worth it.
Last year during their visit, we had so much fun sledding down a nearby hill. This time around, we only got a few inches of snow and unfortunately, it was all gone within a few days. So, we cuddled our babies by the fireplace and ate all sorts of good food. The kids also had such an amazing time playing together. There was a point where Alex and I looked at each other and realized that we hadn’t seen Grace for an entire day. She had so much fun playing with her cousins and is already asking for a trip to Florida.
We spent most of our time indoors because of the cold weather but as soon as we had a hint of sunshine, we set out to explore the zoo and hit all of the indoor exhibits. Below are a few pictures…
Here are our other visits to Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium :

We’re already missing these guys and can’t wait to see them again.
