Here is a picture of dinner one night (just the kids' tables mind you), just to show you the kind of chaos I had to put up with. I don't know how they got all of these kids fed, much less themselves!
I kind of liked it though because there was always somewhere to snatch a bite of big kid food. Whether it be begging from an aunt, uncle, grandma, or grandpa, from someone's plate, or in this case, being in the right place at the right time. (They wouldn't let me have any of the droppings though, something about strawberries being off limits. Rude!)
I also managed to coax a few (ok alot!) of bites of ribs from my cousin Weston because he thinks I'm so cute!
However, he was way too slow!
So, when someone distracted him, I grabbed the whole thing from his hand and hurried and shoved it into my mouth. (He was tough, he didn't even cry. He just want and talked Grandpa into giving us more! I don't think Grandpa understood what the story was, so he just gave him more rib to make him happy!)
There wasn't just lots of good food at Grandma and Grandpa's. There was also lots of stuff to do and people to play with.We got to swim. (Tabitha looked so cute in her swim gear! I was a little bit jealous.)
The big kids played sports.
(Or something. I'm not sure what Uncle Damon is doing with that big white pole!)
Cole thought he was cool because he got to play lots of Wii with our Uncles and big cousins.
I also found these pictures that Mom took. I think I must have been napping when this happened since I am not in the pictures. (I don't know how, I tried really hard to not nap while we were there. I didn't want to miss anything!) But, I did hear them say something about a magician. Really, a magician at the house? Who does that? Grandpa was responsible I'm sure!! From the looks of the pictures, Cole and Ally thought it was amazing!


The most fun part of all was spending time with family. It is so nice that every once in a while, we can go see most of our cousins, aunts and uncles, and great grandparents.



For once, I wasn't even the smallest one. (Ok, I might still have been the smallest, but at least I wasn't the youngest!)
And thankfully, Emily could hold my cousin, instead of trying to hold me!
We even got to see Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Watt. If I thought it was crazy, I can't imagine what they thought about all of us! (It's a good thing we are all cute to make up for the chaos!)

We are so blessed to have such a great family! Hopefully we will get to see all of them again soon!

Weston has learned that lots of cousins means lots of attention! But you have to put up with the chaos...
