Family Pictures

One of the many activities we did over the Thanksgiving holiday was get family pictures taken...with ALL my family. Not just our "little" family...but all my brothers, sisters, their spouses & kids, etc...30 people in all! Here are some of my favorite shots that we just took w/our little camera...

Just our little family...(you can tell Abbie was a little bit cold)...

Here is one of my dad with all the sons (minus my brother-in-law, Brig...this would have been a perfect picture if Brig would have been able to stay!):

And, my mom with her daughters!

And, I couldn't resist sharing this one...Parks & Connor were facinated by a lot of recycling trucks that kept passing....we would find them standing together watching for the trucks to come by....aren't these brothers cute?

Paramount City

Each year, the 3rd graders at the Abbie's elementary school, have the assignment to build a miniture business & then each classroom builds & name their own subdivision. The business are constructed at home w/mom & dad, while they work on their homes at school. A couple of weeks

ago, Abbie participated & then we all had the chance to go view "Paramount City" that was constructed in the gym of the school....it was so fun to see the creativity & hard work that was put into the project. Our family had fun walking around the city! Here are some pictures...

Abbie chose to build IHOP...

Here friend, Eryn, built Krispy Kreme donuts....

And another friend, Hunter, chose to build Cabela's...

Their class named their subdivision "Star Creek"...

And here was Abbie's house....

I thought they all turned out fabulous!...I'm already looking forward to doing the project with Annie in 2 more years! :)
