TOGETHER WITH THE FAM~

 There's nothing I like better than to gather family together. 
 My nephew Russell is getting married soon to a beautiful girl named Kristen. 
 So of course we had to have a shower for them. 
They live in California, so Jolyn and co. flew up for the get-together.
Many of the cousins hadn't seen each other for a long time,
so it was good to get everybody in the same place. 
The weather has settled down so we had a lovely outdoor picnic. 
Perfect for relaxing and visiting with loved ones and close friends.
These cousins have remained friends even as they have grown older, so it's fun to see them together,
laughing and enjoying one another. 
Towards the end of the evening we watched video's of when these kids were little. 
Some Christmas's past. It was fun to see Grampa Giggs playing the piano, Grama June telling a story,
and Tom Mullin swinging his golf clubs and harassing Tom.
We miss having them here, but know they would be happy to see the family all together.
