How many cousins do YOU have?

I have 49 cousins...on my moms side! Growing up I didn't get to see them very often, but when I did it was always the highlight of my year. With so many cousins, each kid had at least one buddy at family gatherings...we would pretty much run wild & drive our parents crazy. The posterity list below can be credited to 2 amazing people.....my grandparents!  My dear grandpa passed away about 6years ago and my sweet grandma is still happy and alive, and recently celebrated her 94th birthday. When I stumbled upon this list (last updated Nov. 2010) I wanted to share.  And yes, they have 133 (and counting) great-grand children. Amazing! 

I am so proud to be their granddaughter and to be apart of such a wonderful (and huge!) family.

family photo

We have family photos coming up, I want them to be light, happy, summery, and fun. 

I found some outfit inspiration on the web, I could probably find about a bizillion more!

I love to layer (which is probably apparent) and I love accessories! (belts, hats, jewels, etc.)

The photos are inspiration for color ideas, patterns, mixing prints, outfit ideas etc.
What do you think? Good colors for a family picture?
