We were 26 yesterday. That is 26 plus the great grand princess, Abby. I did manage a few pictures of the whole group, but somehow the camera wanted to focus on Abby most often.
This is part of the gang
and here's another part of the gang. A few of the younger ones were in the pool already. What's food when you have a pool adjacent to the party room grandma rented at the motel!
Mommy had dressed the princess for her first Christmas in a green and red tutu. I think she is wondering what is going on!
But she was an absolutely perfect little girl at the gathering. She tasted her tutu
but decided her fingers tasted better.
Great grandpa had his turn holding her, as did most of us!
I was just snuggling with great auntie Thea when they put the fluffy pink and purple hat on me. My auntie Anna made it for me on her new knitting machine.
Time out with auntie Katie.
And this is the new hat I got from grandma. I'm going home now so I can rest from all these festivities!
I think the only casualty of the day was when cousins Ben and Jaden had a little shoving match, and Jaden ended up in the pool fully clothed!
We had a very nice day. Lots of food, lots of catching up, lots of love. We missed Tya who wasn't feeling well, and Chris and Amy in Alaska, and Lenny, Connie and Sam in North Dakota, and Courtney in Idaho. But having 5 of the 7 kids plus spouses, 13 of 15 grandkids, and the great grand princess Abby there, made for a blessed Christmas celebration.
Hoping you enjoyed the same.
