This past week all of my mom's brothers (2) and sisters (4...including my mom) came to Vegas with their families for a hectic but fun time. We had family pictures out in the desert - luckily no one fainted this time or had to sit on a pointy rock for hours - celebrated my sister's birthday, had family game night, went indoor mini-golfing and just spent good quality time together.
Because my parents are both the oldest siblings in their family, I have the privilege of being the oldest grandchild on both sides. As you can imagine, this comes with its own up and downs. I was totally spoiled as a child which is nice but now all of my cousins are way younger than me. I think I get the best of both worlds though. I get to hang out with my fun aunts and uncles but I also have a ton of cute kids I can go play with if the adult talk gets too boring haha.
My aunt January, her husband Todd and their kids stayed in our house during the week. Since they arrived in Vegas the night before everyone else I decided to take their little girl out with my little brother and sister. We saw Ice Age - Dawn of the Dinosaurs...in 3D! haha They had a lot of fun and it was good to spend some time with them.
This picture is super dark because I took it with my phone in a dark theater but it shows the sweet glasses we got to wear.
One of my cousins I don't get to see very often because her family lives in Texas. Its always amazing how fast kids grow. Last time I saw this girl she was a baby! Now she is one of the big kids but still so cute.
Harry Potter came out during the week so one of my uncles took me and Drew along with one of our cousins to the midnight showing. Drew and I decided to branch out a little and dress up for the event. We didn't have very long to find costumes around the house and they aren't very accurate as far as Harry Potter goes, but we had fun anyway.
Yes...we even had wands! The movie was fabulous. It might be my favorite Harry Potter so far.
As crazy as it was having so many kids running around (15 I think...) it was so fun to see my family...especially the ones that don't live in Vegas. Thanks for coming out guys. I love you all!

IS that your graduation robe that you wore to Harry Potter? haha I LOVE it! I'm in the same boat with you when it comes to family. I'm the oldest grandchild as well and all of my cousins are waay younger than me. But I think we definitely have it made because we can either be with the grown ups or the cool older cousin.
