A Week of Family Fun

The last week of March was an extremely busy one for us that was jam packed with endless fun family time!

The week started off with a day trip to Seattle to visit my old roommate Jessica on Monday!  She picked me up from the airport, we got lunch at Pike Place Market, then went to the zoo :)  It was SO good to see her and catch up!  Fun day :)

My Aunt and Uncle came into town Tuesday night for their sons wedding, and then on Thursday my cousin got married in the Draper Temple, followed by a beautiful reception at Wheeler Farm. 

It's been 5 years since most of us Rau's have been together, so we took advantage of this wedding time and had a mini Rau Reunion on Friday!

We spent the morning wandering through Temple Square

Rau Cousins!!  
(plus a little photo-bomber :)

After Temple Square we walked over to City Creek for some lunch.  It was pretty comical trying to get 16 adults and 14 children from place to place... ha ha.  It seems like we were constantly missing someone and stopping to try and round up all the little ones ha!  Friday evening we spent hanging out in Mapleton at my sister's house and had dinner together.  It was so good to see everyone, be all together again, and catch up on each other's lives!

My Aunt and Uncle stayed at my parents house, which meant lots of late night game nights of course!  One of which was spent playing cards sitting around a lantern due to a random power outage ha.  Sleep is overrated anyway right?  Ha.  We just like playing too much :)

Saturday we headed back down to Mapleton for my family baby shower!  My sister, sis-in-law, and mom were so great and threw me a shower (aviation themed of course :).  It turned out SO cute!  I loved it!!  

Candy airplanes, runway, and our "Airline Meals" :)  So fun!

Candy airplane party favors - "Hershey" comes!

So grateful to everyone who came!  It was so fun!

Thank you Thank you to all my family who came!!

The fun didn't end there... Sunday we drove back down to Mapleton for my newest nephew's baby blessing!  Another fun day full of lots of yummy food and good times!

Such a busy week, but we certainly had a great time hanging out together!  Love my family :)
