Wonderful things about a large family...
I am feeling so blessed to have my large family. I'm really beginning to understand why people plan it this way - our last two have been unplanned.
My older girls are all getting a good understanding of what it means to be pregnant and raise a child. They are fabulous big sisters and will make great parents one day if they choose to have kids.
I love Christmas morning and birthdays. Even when there's not a lot to share, there are so many of us to celebrate!
Family mealtimes - they are usually a riot! And there are lots of hands to clean up afterwards.
The sheer variety of children - I'm constantly challenged and delighted by how different they all are.
The amount of love I get. At any particular time of the day, I've got at least one child wanting to cuddle me. Yes, it can get a little tiring, but I just love it, too. Someone's always in a good mood with me, to make up for the sulky ones :)
I'd love to hear what you love about your big families too :)
