This is my mom and dad's grandchildren, yes there is only 2 boys and 8 girls. A lot of estrogen in our homes.
We had the best time together, infact this was the first time in probably 11 years that we have ALL been together for Christmas. We are so lucky to have each other and share these memories. At this time when life seems so fragile, I am grateful for these people who love and accept me.
A tradition from many years ago, infact since I was a child, we would make and have popcorn balls for Christmas. We did that on Christmas eve. It was a good time even thought we didn't eat much, we gave them to my parents nieghbors as a thank you for helping shovel the sidewalk.
Cousin love! We need it!
Thanks to the Jones' girls for the hard work of decorating, scrapbooking and making each of us a memorable CD of music that can bond us!

Families the best. And I love that you pointed out the male to female ratio because when I saw that pic on Micah's blog that's EXACTLY what I thought; well actually I thought "poor boys..." but close enough ;)
