Luck o' the Irish

We got to meet our beautiful new niece, Jentrey! She is an amazing little girl and we cannot wait to see her (and all of our other beautiful nieces) again!

Here are some photos of our big trip:
Mae was super excited to see her cousins Joelie and Jessie again! She had such a great time playing with all of her cousins. Now whenever we see a "big" kid, she gets all excited because she thinks they are going to play with her ... her cousins spoiled her!
Jessie being a big girl and feeding Mae!
Julie and Mae shared a dance :)
A bonus on this trip was having Mae get to meet her Great-Uncle Kevin, Great-Aunt Holly and cousin Krista!


Grandma S also made an appearance, which was fantastic! (Apparently Joelie is the Yahtzee-Queen!)
The three "J's"

Isn't she gorgeous?
We're all Minnesota fans now (sorry, Nebraska!)

Grandma with all but one of her girls!
Poor Mae - she doesn't know that these two guys are trouble! We need to teach her something about boys!
Note: We also got to have Mae finally meet her Aunt Jeri, Uncle Eric and cousin Ella. We took pictures .... lots of them ... but right now I do not know what happened to them! So until I can track down the photos, check out http://ejelorenz.blogspot.com/ for photos of our visit with them!
Then this past weekend we got to have a Surprise 94th Birthday Party for Mae's GiGi (great-grandma)! We got to hang out with GiGi, Mae's great aunt Karen, and her mom's cousin and her family. Of course Grandma & Grandpa B came down for the celebration, as well! It was super fun!
Mae-Mae's whispering secrets to GiGi ...
And now they're laughing over it!
Here's Mae in her cutsey St. Patty's day outfit (thanks Emily!)
