There are no words.  This is such a fun, unique, happy, strong group of kiddos; They make the world a better place!  (Rose was not happy she had to share Anna Kate\u2019s hand holding with Anna who was holding Anna Kate\u2019s other hand.  That is the story on that face\u2026 which was totally hilarious!)<\/p>\n

Christmas lunch was so Mom.  She never ceases to amaze me and because of her cake pop presentation, the kids will never forget what rosemary smells like.  They each took a stem and smelled it as they ate their desserts.  Watching their Rara (Rose Mary) teach them about this herb just melted my heart.  Such wonderful memories in the making.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be home without antlers!  Noelle loves to cook and serve others, and she figured out a way to share her cinnamon apple dish with her cousins!  <\/p>\n

So glad we got this picture of Nancy, Me and Michele!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0449\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We tried to get a picture of Poppa and Rara with all 8 of their grandkids but that didn\u2019t work out so much.  \"Winking<\/p>\n

Hudson sure does love his Poppa!  Noelle did a fantastic job of making warm cinnamon apples for dessert!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0462\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose is totally in love with her Rara\u2026 and I\u2019m pretty sure the feeling is mutual! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0483\"<\/a> \"IMG_0488\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are our party stars!  Aren\u2019t they something!?!  Harper and Rose are BFFs, and they will tell you all about it if you ask!<\/p>\n

Noelle and Drew were the big kids and had a blast hanging out together.  They are the sweetest friends you will ever meet, both good through and through.  They wrote letters to each other this fall that were priceless. <\/p>\n

Here come the Annas!  Anna and Anna Kate couldn\u2019t get enough of each other and had to be together the entire weekend.  Sitting beside each other at meals was a must, and they hit it off big-time.  Hudson and Saylor were both too little to notice each other, but I think it\u2019s meant to be they have a glorious time together at reunions to come.  It\u2019s just so fun when everyone has a playmate, and although I\u2019m sure they will mix and match through the years, to have cousins your age is so fun and special and I\u2019m so thankful they have each other to be kids with and enjoy the journey!<\/p>\n

Finding activities in a small town for 8 kids 8 and under was no easy task.  We made ornaments, played outside, did nails at the \u201csparkle shop,\u201d along with massages and tattoos, you name it, we probably did it, and it was so much fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
