Family Reunion - Take One

I come from a pretty small family. My dad is an only child, and my mom has one brother, so I only have a handful of cousins. Family reunions are not something that have really been a part of my life. Last week we had our first official family reunion, and it was awesome! We went to the This is the Place park and enjoyed all that their Christmas program has to offer - even with the super low temperatures it was lots of fun.



Our side of the family



The C side of the family. We love them!



All the kids - so cute! (poor Preston is the only boy in the bunch)



The Redheads



Riding the train



Sending Maddie's letter to Santa by throwing it in the fire (Maddie asked me to "hold you" pretty much all night. My arms were dead by the end, but she kept me warm so I couldn't complain)



Lacey and Steve do-si-do-ing



The first sibling pic in years
Lacey (28) Karl (almost 26) Katie (24) Eric (22)



Even little Brooklyn enjoyed the festivities



It was so fun to get to see everyone and spend time with them. Maddie found herself some new best friends, who she talks about all the time! This whole family reunion thing is a great idea!
