Madsen Sibling Reunion

My brother Nathan, his wife Alissa, and their son, Spencer, came all the way from New York for a visit this weekend. We haven't seen them since Seth's wedding last May and we had never met little Spencer. It was such a great visit! Spencer is the cutest baby I've ever met--I know I'm a biased Aunt but just look at that face and those eyes! Too precious!


They flew in Thursday night and we had dinner with Stephen and Eiko. We introduced Nate and Alissa to Rock Band and rocked out all night! They caught on quickly and were instant experts on guitar--guess that's what you get from professional musicians!

Friday, the brothers (Stephen, Nathan and Seth) had a "man lunch" and some male bonding time. Melinda came up and the ladies and kids just hung out and had a yummy lunch. Friday night, Hilary came for dinner and we watched the season finale of the Office together. Many laughs.

Saturday, we headed up to Midway to see Dad. It was a beautiful day and very peaceful in the Midway Cemetery. Later, we got scones (no chicken fried steak this time) at Chick's Cafe in Heber. It's a family tradition--we can't go to Midway without a trip to Chick's--my Dad would have been proud! Saturday night, we had pizza from the Pie and played more Rock Band. Nathan's rendition of Beastie Boys "Whatcha Want" had us all laughing 'til it hurt!



Sunday was great. Stephen and Eiko, Seth and Melinda, and Hilary all came and it's the first time all the siblings had been together in over a year. We just sat around and talked, ate lots of yummy food and laughed a lot. I forgot how loud the Madsen's can be! Reminiscing was fun!I haven't laughed this much in a long time! It was so wonderful to have everyone here! Thanks to you all for a great weekend!
