Arizona

Last weekend my sister Monica, my Mom and I went to visit my oldest sister Alli in Arizona for the annual "gem show". We all have really gotten into making jewelry and this fair is the best place to buy beads etc. This year was my first year going and I was amazed with how big it was. We spent 7 hours shopping and we only got through 2 of the 40 tents!!! I loved going to the show, but the best part of the weekend was just spending time with my fam and finally getting to see Alli's beautiful house, and get a better feel for what her life is like in AZ. We had a blast shopping at the fabulous outlets, watching Jane Austin movies, hanging out with the kids and just talking all night. Thanks Alli for letting us come stay with you. I hope I can come visit again soon!We didn't take too many pictures (we were too busy having fun). Luckily Alli took some on her phone....

Claire found a string of pearls that became her toy for the day, she's got a very sophisticated taste I guess :) She waved them at anyone that walked by, it was so cute!

How adorable is Claire?!? She's such a sweet baby!!!
Mikey and Claire were so cute together. Every time they saw each other they would start smiling. Claire always wanted to play with her younger cousin. They were both so good the day of the show. I am sure it was a long day for them!

Here we are leaving the show all stocked up and ready to start making some jewelry! By the end of the day our bags definitely outweighed the babies!!!
