My side of the family still attempts to get together at Christmas time each year. We shoot for whatever day everyone can make. This year we gathered at our home the day after Christmas. Although I did wonder with 17 kids now among us and 12 adults, perhaps we should start renting a hall or something:) The "big" girls sitting together on the couch are my brother's and oldest sister's. They range in age from 16 to 10. My brother also has 4 boys ranging in age from 7 to 1. My sister, Kristen, has 4 girls, ages 9, 7, 5, and 2. My twin sis has a 1 year old and then there are our 3. The day seems a blur when it's over, but what a joy it is to reflect back on many moments of children at play together. Owen is starting to really enjoy time with his cousins old and young. Hopefully, we will continue the tradition for many years to come.
