so...we're stingy and spoiled !

yep... these are our six grand kids. we are lucky in that all of them live not more than 1/2 hour from us. four of them have been gone to california for the past week, and we (papa don and i) don't like it at all! yes, they need to go see the other sides of their families sometimes, but even though we don't see them every single day when they are home, at least we know they are close! kendyl and ryker made it home late last night and siona and isley will be on their way home tomorrow morning ~ i'm just like an old mother hen gathering up her brood (aren't i?)... but i'll be happy when they are all home. even though it is total chaos when they are all here, i wouldn't have it any other way! this was our futile attempt at having a "family" portrait taken for christmas cards. we actually had 2 pictures that turned out 'not quite as bad' as the rest and we used the other one for our christmas card, only because the whole family was in it. (thanks, ginny, for coming over and taking the pictures, even though you thought that you were leaving your chaos to come over to total bliss. yeah... right!) hunter and ryker are always just happy to be here, and after the knock down drag out between kendyl and siona about who was going to stand by kamryn (yes, kamryn has 2 sides, but they both wanted to stand on the SAME side!) we finally talked them into standing on both sides and haley had to make a total fool out of her self to get smiles:-) but it worked! look at what cute little angels they all look like (and of course they are). why in the world, can't we have grand kids first?

Too cute!!! The picture turned out great! Thanks for sharing Kendyl and Ryker with us, they were a joy to have, but chaos is a good word when there are more than 2 kids together at a time. Merry Christmas!- Autumn Wells
