Chandler Family Reunion

My Grandma organized a family reunion for us last weekend up in Breckenridge, Colorado. We were blessed to be able to come and spend some time with extended family and reconnect with people we don't get to see that often. My Grandma has three kids, each with kids of their own and spouses and some great-grandchildren mixed in and we were able to get everyone there except my husband and my brother's wife. Pretty amazing!

Avery's all set for the ride up to the mountains.
My brother's headphones were a little too big for her so we rolled up some napkins to fill in the gap on top of her head.

Kendall got to use her warm 6 month clothes for the first and probably only time. Texas is hot.

Avery watching a show with Uncle Bryce in the hotel room.
I don't know why this picture cracks me up so much. She's just laying there with her arms all straight. haha!

At the 4th of July parade with Grandpa! Kendall is really getting into eating people food. Her first tooth is emerging just in time!

My parents love their grandbabies.

Avery's blue otterpop/blue sucker tongue.

Avery and her second cousin, Rhett, hanging out in the wagon.

Uncle Bryce got Kendall to sleep during the very noisy parade.

A picture I sent to Tyler on Sunday at church. I had to sneak away into the Relief Society room during Sacrament meeting to feed Kendall since they didn't have a mother's room. She is such a little sweetie. I love this little chub.

Kendall getting bounced by Aunt Kendra. 
She had so many willing hands to hold her.

Napping on Grandpa. Kendall was a horrible sleeper during the entire weekend. She refused to sleep unless she was being held and my mom ended up sleeping with her on the couch for most of the nights. No fun for anyone.

Wagon ride!

Gondola ride up the mountain.
I was wishing I'd brought the selfie stick!

Mom and me at the mountain base. Looks much different than when we come here to ski!

Avery playing with my cousin, Kebryl. He was pretty cute with the little kids.

Avery and Kendall were both pretty grouchy the entire trip from lack of sleep. I think they were both thrown off from the new environment. It made for a challenging trip, but despite that it was still fun to get together with everyone and see my cousins I haven't seen in years.

It was worth the sleepless nights, and back ache, at least for me that is!!!
