Chris family arrived on the 3rd for the fun festivities, as well as a family reunion later on that week. 3 of Chris younger brother's stayed with us, and it was so fun to have them there. Kaia really got to know them well, and they were ALWAYS able to put a smile on her face!
on the 4th we had all of Chris' family over for a BBQ, and then to watch fireworks. As always a pickup game of soccer began, and the wives and cousins hung out. Kaia took to eating flowers, and really seemed to enjoy herself.
..she NEVER leaves home with out her blackberry!
Daddy and Kaia were being silly with the camera...Kaia's closeup!
We all went camping for Chris family reunion. Before everyone got there we went on a little hike that led us to a FREEZING cold water fall. Kaia really loves being out doors - and had a fun time hiking with her uncles, and grandma and grandpa Williamson.
...I'm on a boat... Our water baby loved being in the water, even thought it was freezing cold. That first day she was doing all she could to escape from my arms and get into the water to splash around
It was Kaia's first camping trip and she was pretty good. The first night was so windy we all thought our tents would blow over. A few hours into the night Kaia got scared, and was able to get her way, and cuddle all night in between mom and dad....
The day we got back home Chris shaved...THANK GOODNESS. 
Kaia met lots of new great aunts and uncles, and cousins and 2nd cousins...she was all smiles. There was never a shortage of attention Kaia received - what a lucky and loved little girl!
Camping was a blast. The Williamson's are all so much fun. Chris' Aunts and Uncles and cousins are all so much fun to be around. What a great family! We're so glad to be so close to them, and be able to get together like this every so often!
The evening we got back from the camping trip Kaia's cousin Kyle was blessed in our home. It was great to have almost everyone together...(though Dan and Nell were missed)
After having family stay with us, camping and the baby blessing, Chris and Kaia were worn out! Like any baby, Kaia's favorite place to nap is with her daddy.
We love when the Williamson's come to visit, and look forward to them staying with us. They are such a wonderful family and I feel so blessed to be apart of it. We have so much fun whenever they are around, and they will be missed!!
