My big, fat Mormon family

This Thanksgiving was special in many ways – one being that it was the first time in YEARS all of us Knickerbockers were together.  With one brother being in the Navy and most of us scattered – it must have been close to 5 years.

Which meant one thing – time for some FAMILY PICTURES!

Oh the great debate about clothing selections and color schemes, involving pinterest, conf calls, online forums, and a final vote, and then location – only to have the weather be FREEZING, GLOOMY, and totally YUCKY outside – making indoors a requirement.  But have no fear, we preserved and the photographer worked her magic.

The result – BEAUTY!

The entire GANG!IMG_4956

The ones who were crazy enough to have 8 kids ;)

The siblings!!!  Yep, there’s all 8 of us there.  Aren’t we purty?IMG_5001

And I’ll forever say the best gift my parents ever gave me was my brothers and sisters!!!IMG_5038

And then there’s the spouses added!  Not sure how we ALL got to dang lucky?!

And the best part of us – these incredible cute grandkids/ cousins! 

All except Rylee.  She was so embarassed her diaper was showing and no one even noticed!  Yep, life is hard when you’re only 2!
