Every year as a Liechty tradition the entire family gets together. If you don't know, Chad's dad comes from a family of 11 brothers and sisters. So now with several generations it is a lot of people. Most years we have stayed under one roof....yea, 65-85 people in one house is a little overwhelming. I am usually running for the walk-in closet just to have a place for all of my kids. Well, this year we rented 3 houses in Bear Lake. It was so nice. These homes are incredible and overlooked the beautiful lake. I have to say it was nice being divided into 3 homes and for once in 10 years, I had my own room. Chad is always working and I always have the kids by myself....but we survived the 4 days without too much damage.

Here are the boy cousins in our immediate family:
Micah (6), Eli (3), Aiden (4), Jaeger (2), and Dylan (4).
Yea, it is a busy house for a few days......


Trying to take a family picture to send for Christmas cards. I liked the outdoor one best.

Isn't this such a good picture?! Chad smiled a lot in pics when we were first together, but that stopped after about a year. He refused to smile in any picture after that. On my anniversaries I always convince him to smile so I would get one picture a year. Last year we took pictures down at the beach and they were so good. He has an amazing smile. Something convinced him that he looks so much better. This was actually a candid shot and I love it.
