Family Pictures

With the way last week started, I'm surprised we even made it to Thanksgiving, but I am so glad we did! We had a great weekend filled with lots of food, family and fun! We were lucky enough to eat great turkey dinners with both families! We are so blessed to live by both of our parents. Austin's entire family was in town from Utah and California and the last time everyone was together was probably for Austin and mine wedding 6 years ago (we also celebrated our anniversary this weekend---hooray!). With his family being so big, it's hard to get everyone together, and with all the additions that have come since the last 6 years, we were well overdue for some MacGillivray family photos. I was partially in charge of finding a location that would accommodate our every growing family of 38 kids and grandkids. What a chore! At last, we headed to a neighboring community and found a great little area on a golf course. Of course, there was a complaining Samaritan who called the little golf Marshall man on us and he came and gave us about 10 minutes to wrap up. I wish we would have had a lot more time, but I think overall, everyone got the shots they wanted and everyone looked great!! Here are a few of them minus the big group shot, well, because I was in it!

Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandkids. This is the best shot I took of the kids, but then I noticed that my guy was the one making a huge scene---check bottom left. Thanks Ryan for trying to control him!


The "true" MacGillivray family. From left to right--- Misti, Miki, Lani, Mel, mom & dad, Dustin, Monte & Austin. Aren't they such a good looking bunch?!

Our little family. Dax was working his "cheese" smile, but had a little difficulty actually working the camera! Gotta love two year olds!

I don't think I ever realized how many people are on that side of your family. I hear the number all the time, but to actually SEE that number is crazy. I can't imagine what it was like to get all those kids looking at the camera and cooperating!
