For everyone who read this blog post in January, From Quiet Dinner to Huge Celebration I thought I'd post a few pictures.
This is how we solved the issue of kids asking for new cups every time they forget where they put the last one down.
I had my camera set on sport action speed here. Didn't make much difference.
We're a clan of 46. Thirty of us were able to show up on less than a week's notice. I'm really not sure where we would have put the other 16. But we'd have found a way.

Funny about the kids moving too fast even for sports setting! I'm sure everyone had a blast. What a great photo of everyone on the steps. I must admit I'm kind of reeling at the thought of such a large clan! I grew with my mom and my sister, with occasional gatherings at my grandparents thrown in. But even then, our clan wouldn't have hit 20, let alone 46. What fun that must be!!

Great photo of your gathering! Love that so many of your family members were able to attend. I do the same thing in my class when we are low on paper cups (writing their names or initials so they can use the cups for breakfast and lunch).
