The Larson boarding house

We just got back from my sister Julie's wedding in Arizona and my house feels awfully quiet after staying at my mom's with 25 other people. With so many people staying at my mom's house we each have our own red cup with our name on it to minimize dishes.
In the morning we would go through 4 dozen eggs. We had an assembly line at lunch to make sandwiches which were all gone within minutes. I loved the late night conspiracy theory talks, midnight pizza orders and runs to Bahama Bucks. Growing up the youngest of 10 kids I miss the chaos of a full house. John and I finally figured out that it takes 25 people to keep Austin entertained. Such a nice break for me! I will post pictures of the wedding after I get some groceries and attack the pile of laundry waiting for me.

Wow! That is a lot of people in one house...but how fun! Nothing is better than being with family.

I thought I "sensed" you here. I should have stopped by. Glad you had a good trip. The red cups are all over my counter right now..... with names of 12 different people.
