Off to Nauvoo!

Tomorrow I am headed to Nauvoo for my parent's 50th anniversary shindig! I am really excited because unless it is a wedding or a funeral we are rarely all together at the same time. When all 10 kids get together it can get crazy! All of us are staying in one of these huge historical homes. No kids are coming but since I am the only one nursing, Brock is tagging along. Sheri is coming tomorrow to take care of Austin while John is working. She just got back from Buffalo with Ryan's family and will be back later this month when we go to London so she is getting some major grandma miles in this month (thank you!).

We all are in charge of different surprises for the Nauvoo get together. I started this blog back in August but we are presenting it as a surprise tomorrow as a way for the whole family to keep in touch. Here is a little sneak peek at what I have been working on for my mom and dad's 50th:


I'll be back Sunday to catch up!

Your mom does not look like she has 10 kids. I didn't know you came from such a big family. How fun! I hope you have a blast on your trip. Sounds like fun.

Have so much fun Christy! I didn't know you had 10 kids in your family...how cool is that! I bet you have a blast when you are all together, and 50th anniversary that's awesome, and sadly almost unheard of these days! Have so much fun, and post lost of pictures when you get home!
