Family Rocks!

A bit belated, but better late than never, RIGHT?

DSC06610-1Simmons Family Christmas – Great Grandma and Grandpa and 14 other adults, 13 kids ages 10 and under. 19 people total and we were missing 4!

All of us had dinner at Great Grandma and Grandpas favorite Chinese restaurant in Salem. It was crazy but fun! The kids all got slinkys from their Great Grandparents and had a blast entertaining everyone with what they could do with the slinkys!

Christmas Day at my parents - (funny, I don’t think we actually got a picture of the adults WITH all the kids…)

All of the kids ages 10 1/2 to 3 1/2

The 17 of us were crammed into Mom and Dad’s house for most of the week after Christmas, then we went up to Olympia to Jenn’s for New Years.

It was so wonderful to have all of us here - Sarah and her crew from Australia for almost a month, Jenn and her brood from Washington for the week after Christmas, my boys back from their dad’s (boy,that was a hard one this year…).

I love having family right here. It makes everything else seem not as bad and the good stuff all that much better.
