reunion fun! day one.

the agenda for day one-

Family pictures. 10:00 (which may as well be the buttcrack of dawn on a vacation day, i could have slept until 11)

(we were an hour late) oops. well seriously NO ONE has as many kids as me to get ready. and I'm not talking about mediocre rush out the door ready, i'm talking PICTURE READY!

and for me that freaking takes time. and a shower, and blowdry, and flat iron. and that is just me Plus curling hair for 3 girls. hot rollers! it works but seriously i can only do one at a time.

so we were late. shucks.

but we looked FABULOUS if i do say so myself. and i do.

THEN

we had lunch. potato bar.

yummy.

after lunch we had story time where my sister in charge Janie aka the family story teller. told Grandma Christensen's stories. THEY ARE SCARY. they all have a moral. and horrible endings. but we continue to put some serious fear into our children. gotta carry on that tradition teaching them about Obedience. and wandering off.

then we had centers.

Janies kids each taught a different thing.

Bridger taught Marbles.

Kody did jump roping,

Bronson did hopscotch.

Sadie did Jacks.

and the little kids wandered around.

we then watched family slide shows. and old home movies.

i jumped rope

i won at Marbles

and i ate my fabulous cake. it was cake-tastic.

then i ran around with the wild kids playing dodgeball/basketball/sprout tag.

i have pictures of marbles, and jumprop. or actually my brother does. he'll send them to me.

the pictures are unedited and not in any particular order. enjoy!
