New Jersey

 We had such a great time up at Jake and Tyra's house. They really are fabulous hosts. Having grandma and grandpa Hawkins there made it really special. They spent a good portion of the time holding babies. Israel loved all the attention.

I love this picture of grandpa with Israel and Mya. Mya is easily the happiest baby of all times.

 See what I mean? These two babies were held constantly.

 

 Jake and Ty's kids are just darling with babies.  Here's Isaac and J.J. with baby Mya and baby Israel.  There was a baby holding line at all times.

We had an early birthday celebration for cousin Leah while we were up there. This is the only picture I have of it. The kids all went crazy with the ice cream cake. It was quite delicious.

Cousin time was never ending. The boys had so much fun all day long. The kids all got along really well too.

The kids watched endless amounts of shows together... At least my boys did.

Every time we went somewhere, one of the cousins rode with us. My boys were in heaven.

We also loved spending so much time with Josh and Laura and their girls. We were so happy to finally meet baby Mya. She is an absolute doll. 

Josh never disappoints.

Games were played every night. The boys got really rowdy as usual. Josh is the master of Monopoly, although I'm pretty sure that Sterling won this game...

 The whole trip was amazing. We spent every minute together just talking, crafting, holding babies and playing games. My boys were in a dream land of family and fun. We're so happy to have family that lives so close. We can't wait to see ya'll again soon!
