Beautiful pictures and a beautiful family. I love the way you got your children to take a picture by the nativity scene. Our church was so crowded when we went, I forgot all about taking our children to see the nativity.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Oh my goodness...your family reminds me so much of my own extended family. Makes me so homesick :) I love how involved you all are with one another...and the game?? I've never heard of it, but I know a few good men on my side that would probably love it. Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteI love how John is intensely guarding his territory in Europe. I can't wait for our next encounter!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I've been thinking about this post since I first read it...I am just fascinated by "large family" family gatherings. Thanks for giving a glimpse into a home that welcomes the noise, chaos, and even messes that come with children. What a happy, joyful place! The pic of the girls prepping for Mass is priceless.
