A Gribble Gathering...

We typically have to wait until Christmas for this to happen, but miraculously, last night we were able to get the entire Gribble family together for a BBQ!

Heidi, Shawn and Garrett were in town from Toronto, so that is what sparked the gathering. It is amazing how big Garrett is getting! He is too cute and loved playing with Liddy! By the end of the night he was even giving her kisses on the lips---I think this was good training for when Liddy's baby brother comes a calling!



As for the other nephews, they were all in great spirits, perhaps the fact that this is their last week of school before summer vacation begins might have had something to do with it. They are all getting so grown up---Drew is almost as big as Andy!






Kurt's 8th birthday is today, so we were also able to celebrate that special occasion last night. I think he ended up with more chocolate cake on his face and hands than he did in his mouth--guess you're never too old to be a messy cake eater! :)



We also took advantage of us all being together and got some family photos. There were lots of us snapping shots, so I'm hopeful that others may have caught some better pictures. It is no small task to get 10 adults, six boys, and a dog to cooperate...though I fear the adults may have been more challenging at times than the youngsters! At least baby boy Gribble was cooperating! :)





Ommy and Poppy were great hosts and while adding a seventh grandson into the mix might seem daunting, I know they're ready for our little guy to join the party!
