Simonton family fun

We started our monthly Simonton family get togethers again. So far we are three months in a row. Life is busy and crazy with so many of us and all being pulled in different directions. Especially now that Jodi is in Glendale and JD is in Minnesota. With church callings and different church times, kids headed everywhere and responsibilities, we have tried to make a greater effort to get together. 

We decided to rotate houses. On your month, you provide the main course and assign food assignments out. We also celebrate birthdays so we celebrated Brooklyn and JD and Talmage. Jodi brought an ice cream cake ...:yummy!!!

I love these kids so much. We missed Josh and JD and their families but was thrilled that Grandpa and Grandma Simonton came, jake and Jodi's gangs and Suzi, Lisa and Chad. So fun. 

We are yummy chicken enchiladas and ate ice cream cake and colored and laughed and talked. We caught up and laughed and had so much fun. I love my extended family. I love my sister and brother. They married incredible people. I love being surrounded by so much love.
