Great Grandkids

My mother has eleven great grandchildren, one born each year since 2000 with two in 2010 and one to make his/her appearance later this summer. Nine of the great grandkids attended the family reunion last weekend. Six of them were around on Sunday morning for a photo shoot, ages range from 4 1/2 to 10 months. 

Here is what it looked like trying to get six little kids to sit on the brick wall, facing the camera all at the same time for a photo:

My mother said it was like herding cats!

The neighbor lady told us at church it was the most fun she

had watching us trying to get them lined up for the photo!

Willa did NOT want her picture taken! 

Can't wait to show this to her in about 15 years!
