I think it turned out great though! I had the camera on a tripod and I kept running back and forth setting the timer. There was probably a way to do it easier, but it actually kept all the kids entertained. Richard did admit that he and some of my family (hmmm....), although they didn't want me to fall, would have been happy to laugh hysterically if it had happened :)I should have taken pics of each separate family so you could see who goes with who. My brother, Darren and his wife Deanna, (by Richard and I) have Madelyn (holding baby Adalie) and Hayden (only blonde headed boy). My brother, Joel and his wife Jennifer now have 4! They have Rylan and Auden. Then they have Ever and Adalie (the two babies). They adopted these two 3 months apart!! So...we have 2 sets of virtual twins in our family :)
So the ages of the grandkids are as follows: 1 month, 4 months, 2, 3, 3, 4, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15. It has been pretty exciting over here the past few days :) Here are a few other pics we took:
The girls:
The boys:
The boys win! They were much better at posing for the pics :)
Madelyn and Adalie:
Hayden:
Cade and Auden. They have adored each other since Auden was a baby. Cade had to hold her for the
family pics.
Baby Ever:
Baby Adalie:
I love Wesleigh and Gracie's faces in this picture. They were just a little excited.
The girls got a princess castle for their Disney barbies.
The girls got Dr. kits and LOVE them!!
It was a fun night and the first of alot of family time. Makes me really wish they lived closer!!

I agree with Sara~ the family photo is framing material!!! Amazing!!! You did good girl!!! Loved seeing the wonderful treasures everyone got~ the smiles are so sweet! You have a gorgeous family~ your mama and daddy did good too. LOL XOXO
the pictures are awesome!! When you wrote about setting the timer it reminded me of our photo shoot my aunt was in charge of at the beach one year. She had a new camera and could not figure out the timer. We had about 10 shots of her running to get in the picture with the family before she got it right. The picture is so funny because we are all laughing so hard!!
So glad you had such a nice time with family, it is just the best!!!
I agree...as one of 7 children, there is nothing like spending time with family :-0)
wow, what a lovely family you have. Looks like a crazy, great time was had.
Happy New Year!

WHat a Beautiful family! The photos are priceless. ;)Hope you're having a great NEw year!

We also to the Barbie house for Arianna. Are you having the same problem we are with the pieces not staying together? Seems to be poorly designed.
Looks like a VERY fun family get together (potato shooting and all). Love the big family photo. you did very well. All the kiddies are so darned CUTE!
All the decorations are down and put away ...Hallelujah! the kids go back to school tomorrow and Dave goes back to work. I need to finish up high school and middle school applications and deliver them...then I am going to relax a little this week. Hopefully that will include a nice ling catch up with you:)
Happy New Year!
What great pictures!!! I hail from a large family, so I treasure times such as this!!! You have a beautiful LARGE family!
PS Love the name Ever!!!
So you know I always admire your photos. But my favorite has to be the one where Richard is in the background ready with his black garbage bag. Jim pointed that out quickly and added,"There's Richard, ready to get the mess picked up....can't have mess." The McGowans thrive in mess!!! (not Daddy McGowan, however...he would have the bags ready as well.) Great family moments that you caputured for a lifetime. Let me know when you need Sadie to come replace the cousins that departed....love to you. Lau
