Labor Day Weekend and Family Pictures

We spent Labor Day weekend up with Chris's family this year. The kids had a blast, like always! On Monday they got up early and went to the parade. They all came home with bags full of candy, and great big smiles on their faces!

Jason learned really quickly that if he stood and waved at everyone, he got more candy. That kid came home with the biggest bag of all!

While we were there, our brother-in-law Ian took some family pictures. Check out his photo blog here. This is how well the boys cooperated:

He did some outdoor ones of the whole family too. Poor guy!

Grandma and Grandpa with all 19 Grandchildren (all 8yrs and younger).

Grandma bought all of the kids ice cream from the ice cream man, so when we were done taking pictures, they all stripped down and ate their ice cream on the front lawn! Ian took a really cute picture of them all, but for some reason I was having problems loading pictures for this post and gave up. I know, hard to believe that I actually wanted to put even more on here than there already are, but, there were so many cute ones!
