Together

We spent the evening at Eric's and Marti's.  With 10 kids, 4 parents, 2 grandparents, and one great grandma, there is a lot of love to go around.

I loved having a little cuddle with Miss Lucy.

Andrew carefully counted to 100 before leaving his time-out.

Per family tradition, we played a lot of Pounce today!

Anthony asked Uncle Jeremy to play cards with him.  

Hold 'em didn't hold his attention too long, I don't think.

Soon, more joined in the game and they switched to another.

Pounce!

Lucy and Grandma were left to do the dishes.

We also watched Bill Cosby's new Comedy Central routine--Far from Finished and had some laughs.  The kids didn't really get it, so they decided to watch a little bit of Shrek.  

We enjoyed Grandma's pies (black cherry, sour cherry, peach, pumpkin, strawberry jello, and a chocolate pudding by Marti) with a little bit of ice cream and whipped cream.

Mostly, we just enjoyed playing and being together...It's been a bit to rare this year, so we were extra glad for this time.
