UpdateFamily Reunion 2011 Video here!

I'm sure Char and Mel will do a great job documenting family reunion on their blogs or Facebook, so here's a few picts and I'll leave all the details to them.

I took more video than photos as it was a goal this year, due to lack of video clips last year and my girls being super vain and loving to watch their own home videos--it was slim pickings last year.

We got home and my rompers arrived from China like this.  Don't be fooled, they were about 3x3 ft and weighed 100 lbs each.

We didn't know they were vacuum packed in there until we cut the strings and POOF, out came colorful rompers like confetti (more like Funfetti! hardee har har).

Anyways Jake was so lovely and helped me count them and repackage them according to Zulily's specifications (click for some cool news about Zulily).  As payment for helping me, Jake got one of these:
