Oh What A(n) Night Update

Last weekend was chock-full of excitement and activities for the Yoder family. Brandon's sister flew in from Florida on Friday so Brynlee finally got to meet her Aunt Heidi for the first time! Though I don't have any pictures of the two of them, I do have this picture of Brynlee with our nephew's stuffed Clifford that he sent along with his mama to be photographed wherever she went.

After spending Friday and Saturday with the Yoder clan, Brynlee and I headed off to my parents' house in Illinois. My sister flew in from Arizona and was anxious to meet her niece for the first time. We spent 5 days in Illinois and had so much fun!

Brynlee thought her Aunt Bria had some appetizing fingers

On Sunday, I went with my mom, sister, and grandma to Chicago to see Jersey Boys. I left Brynlee in the care of my dad and grandpa. This was my grandpa before we even left for Chicago.


You can see why I was a little nervous about leaving my daughter with two out-of-parenting-practice males. However, everyone survived the day and we had a fantastic time in Chicago. If you ever get the opportunity, go see Jersey Boys. It was fantastic! My mom had already seen it once and she said she'd even go back a third time. It's that good!



Monday, my sister and I took Brynlee to visit her grandpa at school. Grandpa enjoyed showing her off to his fellow teachers and Brynlee developed a liking for Fredrica the Skeleton, leading us to believe she apparently has a future as a doctor :)

All in all, it was a wonderful five days spent hanging out with my sister and my family. Brynlee enjoyed getting spoiled rotten by every family member in sight and managed to bring home three bags stuffed full of clothes. She absolutely did not need any of those clothes, but being the only baby on my side of the family so far, it's impossible to stop Brynlee's aunt and grandma from buying her things. We had a great time and can't wait to have the whole family back together again at Christmas. Judging from the picture below, it just might take my sister that long to recover from five days spent with a five-month old!
