Have you ever seen a better New Year's Eve spread?The Simpson cousins know how to throw a real party.
On the morning we were to come home after a NINE day visit with Brad's family, he had the following conversation with Cozette:
"We have to go home today." He told Cozette.
"Oh." Cozette responded not really understanding.
"Yeah, we have to leave Grandma's house." Brad continued.
That sentence caught her attention.
"Oh, it's so sad." She expressed like she has the wisdom of an adult.
Cozette's words best describe how much fun we have and how difficult it is when we have to go home.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of our week:
This is what we did for 9 days straight!
Brad and Sam having some brother bonding while they are licking their lollipops.
We discovered a yommy sandwich shop called Which Wich."Which Wich do you want?"
We love going to the Children's Museum.
Are you in pain and need a good doctor?Dr. Everett and Nurse Caroline.
Or do you have a toothache and need to go to the dentist?Everett's patient isn't looking so great.
We had not eaten in a whole 45 minutes.Meredith decided she needed a little snack!
Scott and Everett.What a resemblance!
Random pictures from our family photo shoot.On the top left in the center is a picture of my brother-in-law, John. He has more pain than anyone I have ever met. Regardless, we are still glad he was able to be with us for a few days. This trip to Columbia was very special because the entire family was able to be together. There's a grand total of 21 of us. It was wonderful to be with all of the adults in the Columbia, SC temple.
Walking along Lake Murray Dam.At the end of January, Kayleigh and Everett will start talking about our trip in July. They usually start a countdown 6 weeks before we leave. They speak about all of their cousins on a daily basis. It's amazing to me how the days turn into weeks and the months fly by.
Before too long it will be the end of our week in July.
Brad will once again tell Cozette that we have to go home.
And she will say, "It's so sad!"
Thank you Bill and Shirley for being such gracious hosts.
We love you dearly.

I could make 10 different comments about this post! Your posts about time spent with these relatives are especially enjoyable because these are all such wonderful people. I love seeing all the cousins together. The picture of Brad and Sam is hilarious! And I definitely would love to have Meredith's caramel popcorn recipe. (Are you reading, Meredith?)
Sister, it looks like y'all had a marvelous time! My favorite photo is most definitely the one of Brad and Sam with their lollipops!
Quincy, I will hook you up!!! Oh Jeannie, it is just so sad, I still cannot stop eating.
