Time with Family and Friends!

Our highlight of the trip to Michigan was seeing all of our family and many of our friends. These are only a few of the pictures, and the rest can be viewed on our Shutterfly site (http://hillary777.shutterfly.com/958). This is the Hillary Gang! Grandpa and Grandma Hillary in their glory...with the six grandchildren.
All of the spectators and photographers watching the grandchildren on the laps of Grandpa and Grandma...very entertaining!
Our attempt at a family photo was futile because our little one was hungry and COLD. Other than that, she looks THRILLED. :)
Daddy with his Clare Bear. There's something priceless about babies in blue jeans. This is Grant...our godchild. He is almost one year old already (http://hillary777.blogspot.com/2007/11/blog-post.html), and he's a big boy!

Grandpa Durham with the Chunky Monkey. This is my dad's first grandchild, and it brings me tremendous joy to watch him interact with her. I've never seen this side of him, and it's very special!!!
Grandma Hillary with Clare Ann. I think this pictures was just moments before a good burp.
The Durham Gang (minus Auntie Ann)...a bit smaller than The Hillary Gang.

Lunch at Mancinos with both families. It's great being from the same hometown.
Clare had to wait 6-8 hours before she got to eat Mancinos. :)
Clare's other "aunts." Lauren CLAIRE and Kaitlin ANNE are like sisters to me...thus making them like aunts to CLARE ANN.
Pam enjoyed her snuggle time with Clare.
Daddy-daughter time...we could just stare at her all day long!

Looks like you guys had quite a good time in Michigan! I can hardly believe how many Hillary babies there are! It was great to see you guys, though definitely way too short. Hope you have a great weekend!

How fun!!! I just can't imagine two more loving and amazing families than the Hillary and Durhams coming together. Awesome!!! Can't there be ONE more brother left??? lol.

Really, does it get much cuter than Bill and Margaret holding SiX little ones??? I don't think they could get any happier!!! Love brings love...how special that must be to see their "little ones" be having their own little ones.
