Visitors from Hawaii

Two weeks ago, my sister Brittney and my brother in law Kyle came to visit. Kyle serves in the Marine Corps and they are stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kaneohe Bay. Britt has been "home" to Oregon quite a few times to visit, but Kyle doesn't have the chance to visit as often. We were very thankful to have them with us for a night while they were in Oregon. Britt hadn't seen Alexis in four months and Kyle had never met his niece!

She is such a natural with little ones

Uncle and niece bonding time... she cried for 20 minutes straight... not a great way to win over Uncle Kyle haha

While in Springfield with us, some extended family wanted to spend time with Britt and Kyle as well so we went out for dinner.

"Brother in law in laws"

I don't think they ever imagined as roommates at OSU that they would 1: be brothers in law and 2: be uncles to each others children one day

Since the whole family was finally together again, we went and had a professional family photo taken. Of course we had to take several of our own as well...

I have no idea what that face is for... she really does enjoy her grandparents!

Alexis smiling with her beautiful Grandma

My brother Ty, his girlfriend Katrina, and their cutie patootie daughter Macie

They both really warmed up to each other by the end of the visit

Thanks for coming to visit us Aunt Britt!

As fun as it was to have them visit us in Oregon... I think a visit to Hawaii will be MUCH more fun! Can't wait until that day :)
