11

 my thawley side of the family is very small. my dad has one brother, dave, and dave has two daughters, so i have two first cousins (total-from either side!) but by the looks of this couch, the thawley side is huge! michelle's 5 kids + christa's 4 kids + my 2 kids = 11 great grandchildren for our grandma, so far (no announcements, puh-lease)...and richard and brett aren't even married yet! i always marvel at how two sons= 11 great grandchildren. it was a rainy day when michelle was visiting from vegas so we were all in one house because super frank's was closed! but they had a blast even if the moms couldn't finish a single conversation. it was worth it to see them all together!

 one or the other of my girls weren't looking at the camera in every picture. ha! we were just lucky to get everyone seated. i can't wait to give grandma this picture for mother's day. check on that gift!
