Cheaper by the dozen

Dinner is better when cooked for a crowd, bath time is funner when you have to share one bathroom, SUNDAY morning is a bit hair raising when everyone has to be ready at the same time but fun none the less.  It has been a great week having all of the beds in the house full of family.

It takes a village
