Brianne's Going Away Parties

Last weekend we to two going away "parties" for my sister who moved to Idaho this week. The first one was at my brothers house with my nieces and nephews.

Rachel and the boys played a lot of chase around the table and had a great time. They are so good with her, especially Kyle. He plays with her a lot and she really enjoys him.

Rachel got a birthday present from them (only 5 months after her birthday). It was a really cute ladybug toy.

Nathan is such a ham. He kept running by as I was taking the picture.

We also celebrated Allison's birthday (only about 2 months late).


Then on Sunday, we went to my moms and had the whole gang there. It was extended family and friends as well.

They are so happy to start this new adventure of theirs.

A big part of the group.

As usual, Rachel and Grant had a good time playing together. They hung out in the dog bed,

wanted to climb outside the window and play outside,

finally made it out there and had a good time on the swing,

and then posed for a picture on the chair.

Overall, I had a good time at the "parties", until it was time to leave. It was so hard to say goodbye. She has always lived within 30 minutes of me and is now so far away. I am happy for them because they are happy to be starting this new adventure, but I am sad that they are so far away. Good luck Brianne and Chris! We love you!!!
