Christensen Family Reunion, 2015

 "It's always better when we're together." My boys eatin' dinner.

Jace's first-ever boat ride! He wasn't so sure about the life jacket at first...

...but once the boat started moving, the smile never left his face.

Naps were taken with Papa Todd, who couldn't get enough of his gran'baby.

Outdoor naps are the best naps, aren't they? 

Especially when "outdoors" is at the lake!

I don't have many pictures from our reunion, but I love the ones I've got! 

Some highlights included:

-Jace's first boat ride.

-Naps outside with Papa Todd.

-Watching my hilarious parents win the horseshoe tournament.

-The Family Talent Show. We really didn't want to do it, but my sisters and I ended up performing the "Cups" song from Pitch Perfect. My sisters played the cups, and my brother-in-law and I sang the song that goes with it. 

-Family Testimony Meeting. I love hearing my family testify of their love for the Savior and faith in the gospel of Christ.

-Jace kicking butt on the 8 hour drive (so much Nemo).

-Exchanging "most embarrassing moment" stories over the campfire (lets be real, my whole life is one long string of embarrassing moments). This was NOT Colt's favorite part, however.

-Tying for the win with my sister during the Family 5K. I didn't think I'd even be able to run a 5K after a year of pregnancy/mommyhood. Our bodies are amazing things, my friends.

-An evening ride on the 4-wheeler with Colt, after we put Jace to bed (except Jace woke up while we were gone, and was inconsolable until we returned).

-Seeing my cousin's cute little kids. I can't believe how big they've gotten! It was too much fun watching them rough-house and play with each other.

I love my family, and I love our reunions. Grandpa loved them, too. He wasn't with us there physically this year, and it felt a little emptier without him, but I believe he was there in spirit. There's no way he would have missed that horseshoe tournament. ;)
