Let the craziness begin! Today was the start of a wild week. Aaron has two brothers getting married this week, and all of the family got into town late last night. We skipped stake conference today in favor of a family devotional, held with all of Aaron's siblings, their spouses and children, and Aaron's parents. Obviously you wouldn't do this every week, but I thought it was great to sit in a room with all of Aaron's family and share testimonies and teach each other about the gospel. It's not an opportunity you get every day.
Later in the day, Aaron's sisters (Lisa, Stacey, Sydni) and I and the two future Mrs. Swans (Melissa, Ryan's fiance, and Esther, Kelly's fiance) went to a park and had a sisters get-together. We took stuff to make fondue thinking that there would be a plug to plug it in. Well, there was a plug, but it just happened to be six feet off the ground. Hence the picture of Stacey balancing it on her head. :) Melissa saved us though, and ran 3 blocks to my apartment to get an extension cord. We had such a fun time talking, eating, and getting to know each other better. I love my sisters!
After that we went back to the house Aaron's family was renting for the week and had an excellent chicken and rice dinner. Lincoln had so much fun playing with all of his cousins, he was like a kid in the candy store. He just wanted to follow them all around and do everything they were doing. I wish we lived closer to everyone so that we could have big family parties more often. But we will definitely be taking advantage of having everyone together this week. I think there is some sort of party planned every single night. Bring it on.
