I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We finally had a nice day. Yea! We spent memorial day with my sister and her family who lives two doors away. You would think we see each other often, but really, we rarely get together. Her children and mine see each other more often, after school and on the weekends sometimes. Today is my sister’s anniversary. She has been married for 26 years. (Happy Anniversary!) She is younger than I am and has a bakers dozen and is expecting her 14th baby in August.
Here we are, I am the one on the left.![DSC06455 DSC06455](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-eKxLzitU-m0/TeWnWiUCESI/AAAAAAAABXs/-WBc9axGz4Q/DSC06455_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)

This is my family that was there. My two married children were unable to attend.
This is my sister’s family. One of her older boys was out of town.
We spent the day doing a lot of fun activities. Here everyone was playing wiffle ball. (Except the moms and babies.)
The teams were my family against …
my sister’s family. Our team won, of course.

Several people played Corn Hole, and…

…on my sister’s patio set that she just got from Craig’s list and a garage sale for REALLY cheep (including the 2 lounge chairs in the lawn.)
We had a lot of delicious food to eat.
Some more pictures.

How was your weekend?
Did you get together with anyone?
Parents of a Dozen
That food looks amazing! And everyone seems to be smiling and happy--sounds like a successful get-together! =)
ReplyDeleteI am really happy to see a large family decorating blog. We have 21 children and I have a family type blog, which I don't keep up very well. I am a frugal decorator and may start a new blog to show how to decorate cheaply ; ) Blessings to you and your sister. Robin
