The Big 80!

We just got home from a wonderful 10 day trip to South Dakota. We had the chance to see ALL of Jennie's family while we were there. We spent a day in Sioux Falls where Ella played with all her boy cousins (actually they are all her second cousins) Riley, Mitch, Logan, and Brady. We also hung out with Jennie's Aunt Amy, Uncle Tom, and Uncle Dean.

Several days later the whole Mach clan got together to celebrate Jennie's Grandmother's 80th Birthday. We had a surprise party for her in which over 80 friends and family attended. Growing up the Mach family got together several times a year for various holidays. But as we've all grown up it's been harder to get us all in the same place at once. It's been several years since we have all been together, and it was so fun to see everyone again. It reminded me of the good old days!

Ella has a lot of pictures from the trip on her blog if you are interested.
