Salt Lake City family celebrations

My sister, Christie, with some nieces and nephews.
Ellie, Maddie, Noah, and Nick up top.
We ate a wonderful breakfast place on 2100 So and about 8th or 6th East. The Pancake House, I think, was the name. Huge breakfast, about 25 kinds of pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc. I adore breakfast and love places like that!

Rock Band with Buckwalter cousins. Maddie loves it. So does Nick. Doesn't mean we will buy it, though, because Ted and I would not get anything done... :)

Backyard birthday games at Aunt Tami's house: sack races, 3-legged races, dress-up-and-run relays. It was a blast! The cousins had friends there too, so we had a big group and our kids were asking when we could move to Utah to play with the cousins and their friends more often! Maddie is on her super-twin cousins' lap. Luke was born just a month before Maddie, both born in SLC, Utah. We played "Oink, piggy, oink" where the blind-folded one has to tap others' knees and listen to them "oink" and guess who is "oinking"...we eventually said that everyone could make any animal noises and things really got funny!

On Nick's turn he was doing some karate moves while blindfolded and he loved it!

The dress-up-and-run relay game...

Great shot of cousin, Max, about to crash on the sack race; Nick is amused. I think he feel shortly thereafter due to laughing attack.

Cute cousin teams: Julianna and Maddie; Marcus and Nick

Thank you to Tami and Chad for hosting us at their home! To Brenda and Ben for coming and being so fun, and to Ma Buck for the balloons and cookie collage! We love you!!
