The Nuncles visit ... part 1.

This past weekend Tony's three brothers and sister in law came to visit. The girls counted down until they arrived. They knew they'd have a ton of fun and in no way were they disappointed!
Uncle Jeff had been in our house no longer than 20 minutes and Aliya was already bleeding. During their 'craziness' somehow Aliya's scab got ripped off. Needless to say there was much teasing about him immediately injuring a child. He's never hurt one of my kids (nor would he'd ever do it on purpose) but there has been numerous times when my kids have almost become a statistic (before her loss of scab, she narrowly missed cracking her head on the tile -- I think he caught her about an inch from the ground)!
The Uncles always come bearing gifts -- dang good ones at that. We all hope Uncle Matt doesn't get married until my kids stop growing. Tae got a killer Sunday outfit from Justice. She loves it because she looks like all the Young Women. Aliya got a cute capri/sun shirt combo that unfortunately wasn't a hit. That kid immediately tossed it aside and said she didn't like it (the only reason she didn't like it is because the predominant color is yellow, not pink). Blake got two KILLER outfits ... he now dresses just like Uncle Matt (which is a good thing). I have no idea how they can find such cute outfits but THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Blake was 'thrilled' with his clothes, can't you tell?
The afternoon they arrived, everyone had a nap. Their flight left at 7:00a.m. so they were up early. I left to go help out at Tae's class party and EVERYONE but Aliya was asleep at my house. I think that's the quietest it was all weekend! Much more to come . . .
