Cousins!

9:30 AM...

Hungry people descend upon my home. from different sides of the valley, my family came. each bearing gifts of food.

and offspring:

Hannah (10 months), Sydney (almost 12 years), Skyler (almost 4), Charis (6), Raegan (20 mo), Alana (2 months), Courtney (18 years), Selah (4), Justin (16), and Eli (2).

Then we had a little "intermission" of sorts. A time to recharge our batteries before diving, headlong, into a mass of children. ;)

5:00 PM. We pull into Aunt Joanna's drive. The last to arrive. effectively causing the already loud atmosphere to raise a decibel. or ten.

Raegan, Selah, Charis, Grandpa, Seth (maybe 4 mo?), Grandmama, Alana, Jacob (5), Trent (4), Symantha (2), Chris (7)...and Michael (1) was MIA. taking a nap, I think.

To our girls, a day just doesn't get any better than this!
