I don't know where to begin, we had such a good time! Some of us stayed up waaaay to late to pack in as much fun as they could. There was always something going on but plenty of space to not get into too much trouble. Everyone plays well together so that makes it easy.
We started the day Sat. by going to the shop to cut 10 inches off Hannah's hair. She is 12 yrs old and has a heart of gold. The plan is to donate it to locks of love for the children that don't have hair. I thought she would back out when we were talking about how short it would be but she is strong. Now we get to see her flip her NEW hair around and admire her new look. She is so cute.
Now it all starts to get a little fuzzy. Meme and Pop show up, the call- Matt, McKenzie, his family are coming over, my house is trashed...........It's great! Seeing Matt after all he had been through and the way he looked at all of us, made me feel so good. He is like one of the family.
As you can tell by the pictures we like to be together and don't mind being close. Sometimes it gets a little wild but the kids love it and pile on more!
The rest of the weekend was filled by lots of talking, looking at some old photo's and just kicking back and enjoying the moment. It is always gone to fast and keeps me wanting more.
The only thing that could have been better would be to have my brother and his family here too. Maybe next time.
Elijah, deciding it is finally time to turn the computer off.
Hannah and Larry eating the best bar-b-que brought from Meme and Pop at the request of Joe.
Max is soo goofy, he's also soo sweet and really fun to be around. The big boys get along great.
Had to fit Naomi's birthday in! She will be 5 in two weeks and we don't want to miss celebrating with the family. Meme made the cake, chocolate with pink cream cheese icing! mm good.
No family gathering would be complete without a chicken. Sam wanted to pet the chicken from the time he got here. He had already been outside to try but they usually don't come to kids as well. Next best thing, the chicken brought to him! Now we even have a picture to prove he pet the chicken.
