Even as our extended family grows with new marriages and kids, we still continue to all get together for certain holidays and celebrating birthdays of the current month. Last night, we celebrated September birthdays, which included my cousin Kaelyn (12 years) and my Grandpa (81 years).
We each bring a pre-assigned dish so no one has too much work. Aaron seems to enjoy having a change of scenery and so many people around to give him lots of attention....
Generally, the kids get tired pretty fast after playing so hard together.... Come about 7:30 or so, there tends to be more tears than smiles - that's usually a sign that cribs and toddler beds are calling....
(I thought this picture was so funny because Tanya is trying to smile while both Aaron and Brynn are screaming and coming apart.)
I finally got a picture of Aaron's new cousin Caleb wide awake - he will be two months next week!
Noah was giving Aaron such nice loves and Aaron wasn't even appreciating it... Sorry Noah - Aaron will realize soon how much fun you are to play with.
Honestly, these family gatherings get a little crazy and loud, but I love it. The chaos of it all is fun and I am so glad for our family and how God has blessed us.
