A Family Gathering :)

Well this is a bit late but better late then never I always say!
My mom's side of the family got together a week after Christmas this year for our Christmas gathering. We all brought food and ate like kings! I believe there was 75 ish people for the meal!
Grandpa =1
My mom has 2 brothers and 5 sisters = 8
The in laws (affectionately call the OUT LAWS)  =8 which totals = 17
There are 29 grandchildren which = 46
19 of the grandchildren are married (or equal to that) which =65
There are 39 great grandchildren which makes a totally of 104!!

Some of the Great Grandchildren sitting at the table to eat. I believe there was about 22 of the 39 there. Rough count! 

L and his creation! He made it all by himself and it was awesome!

Lined up for food. This is at my aunt and uncles AWESOME house.. I love her kitchen. I love that house! 

Great Grandpa giving all the kids chocolates.

My cousin Steph and her 15 month old little girl. She was eating a chocolate from Great Grandpa.

I know her name but I'm not going to try and spell it :) 

My brother Tom watches my brother Danny get mauled by about 9 or 10 kids. I thought I counted 11 when I was taking the pictures but now I only see 9?? There may be more under the others :) 

We teased Great Grandpa that it was all his fault :) What a great bunch of people! Love you all! 

Car? What Car?

The load of snow that was hanging out on the roof for roughly 2 months came CRASHING down the other day! The right side came down at about 5:30am and woke me and Baby J out of a nice sleep! The trailer actually seemed to move when the almost 2 feet of snow on our 70 foot long roof.. and there is about 30 feet of incline! Which makes for a LOT of snow! Here is that side. The snow pile off the roof is higher then the floor level on this side.

That morning the boys went outside to play with a strict talking too about staying out of the snows way! The girls stayed inside as we realized they didn't understand where the drip line was.. never mind to stay out of it! Before the boys could get out side the front of the play side went! BOOOM!!! Good-bye car! LOL. Papa went out and only had to shovel a tiny bit to get the car out.

 The black thing in the middle is all we could see of the car from the top!! What a lot of snow! 

The view from the back! 

The car after Papa drove it out! 

 The boys on top of the pile and the indent where the car had been! They had a great time jumping off of the hill! 

Baby J's 1st Fry!

He LOVED it. A few nights later we had them again, Papa's homemade fries!!, and I put some ketchup on his.. WOWZER!!! He LOVES LOVES KETCHUP!! I could not put them in fast enough! He got so mad that I was 'so slow' (read as fast as I could shovel it in) that he started screaming.. and that was the end of ketchup for the night!
