Jake and his brothers are so spread out these days the whole group doesn't get a chance to get together much and, since Josh is getting ready to head back to the Philippines, Jennifer arranged for one last super fun weekend where we could all be together. It, of course, included family pictures. Jennifer made dresses for every single grand girl. That's 12 different dresses! They all looked so cute together.
Then Val planned for the kiddos to make stepping stones for Jennifer's strawberry patch. Everyone got a hand or foot print in where it could fit and then had a blast adding "jewels."
Also on the agenda was playing Sorry with grandpa.
I loved finding Eve and her little cousin Brooklyn out on the deck by themselves playing chalk.
And at one point a whole group of us hung out on the deck watching everyone else play kickball.
Sunday was extra special because Jake and all his brothers got a chance to sing all together. All the kids got to come out of their classes to watch. Those kids cheered their dads on so loud you would've thought they were rockstars.
Then, that night, the kids got a chance to sing themselves. This is only a part of the performance. Can you believe how similar Silas and Simmy look? I spent the whole day trying to figure out which was which.
(Speaking of look alike cousins...these two!)
After that we stayed and watched a rousing game of basketball, which would've felt just like the old days if not for the children everywhere.
