Ellison decided she wanted to go with Uncle Josh, Aunt Andrea, and the girls to run errands in Saginaw. (!) We were amazed how willing she was to go with them this time. Daddy ended up riding along, too. They went shopping, and she was of course spoiled even more by Uncle Josh with a new "GPS" (DS) game and a new pink case that she loves wearing over her neck/shoulder.
That afternoon, the babysitters arrived to watch all the kids while we adults went to my cousin Ashlee's wedding reception. It was a great time for everyone, and it was nice to actually get to see so many of my cousins, aunts, and uncles this time (all 1 billion of them). I even got to see people we went to high school with, which felt strange.
Carrie and Jeff
Andrea & Josh
Jonny and me (and it looks like Uncle Bob, too - ha)
Our immediate fam, minus the kids
Family #2 minus the missing central person - Uncle Carl. :-( Leif, Meghan, Aunt Yvonne, Shawn, Tori, Brian, and Jim, minus their kids.
Carrie, Tori, Meghan, Andrea, me, and Shawn
We were completely ridiculous giggling and rearranging ourselves, like 47 times, for pics. ("I need to be photographed on my right side," "My arm looks fat," "Wait, I wasn't looking," etc.) I think we ended up being the entertainment this side of the tent.
Then a very small sampling of the 46 cousins (yes, my grandmother seriously has 46 grandchildren, and that's NOT including the great-grandchildren now!!!) got together for some pics.
Rachel, me, Missy, Meghan, Dena, Ashlee, Carrie, Melanie, Lindsay, Shawn, and Blair
The evening was beautiful and perfect for a wedding, and everyone had a blast. Congratulations, Ashlee & Brian!
