Our family has a reunion once every 5 years...the first was in 1986.
(Yes, Amy was a baby...Emily was not here yet)
Emily and I traveled to North Dakota to join my mom in attending the event.
We enjoyed visiting with cousins
and 2nd cousins, once removed.
My mom received a gift for being the oldest in attendance.
She is 90.
Sidney May received a gift for being the youngest in attendance.
She is 5 weeks old.
Sidney's daddy, Craig, let my mom hold his precious daughter...
Thank you.
That gift was priceless!
Such a sweet baby.
After a full day of visiting, good food, photo shoots, and games,
we brought mom back to her home...we settled into our hotel,
just in time for this...
This is the 2nd time this month that we have been in a hotel during a severe thunderstorm warning.
Both times we were lucky...this one just brought heavy rains, and the hail damage was to the south.
There are reports of water over the roads in places...hopefully, not on our road that leads to home!
Take care,
~Natalie

What a great tradition...keep thinking our family should do this. I know many would attend but no one would want to organized it. Love the photo of your Mom and the baby.
What priceless pictures! Loved this post!
Beautiful pictures! I really love the one where your mom is holding that sweet little baby, priceless!! Looks like you all had a good time. Thankfully the weather wasn't any worse for you.

we are so blessed to have family and family that enjoy one another...
I never can understand the "once removed" thing, though!!
