Family Reunion – Day 2

Published on by hollydeequilts

The 2nd day of our re-union was hosted by Aunt Iris’ family, the McCleary’s.  It had been a few years since we had all had the chance to visit – their family has grown so much, adding new daughter-in-laws and adding new babies which is always fun!  I am sure Aunt Iris is watching and smiling!  Her family is beautiful and a delight to be around!

The youngsters are visiting with Uncle Ron - I am sure he is only sharing words of wisdom!

As our hosts the McCleary's had us singing for our dinner - the table that performed the best gets to line up first!

After dinner entertainment included each branch of the family introducing their clan. The McCleary's started us off, they sang a song about their families set to the Sound of Music!

Aunt Carol's family was up next for introductions. Aunt Carol and Uncle Ron had to leave early so it was left to Darin and Lynn to tell us all about the Jones.

My sweet brother-in-law started our branches introductions. He told stories of his dad while they were growing up - Linda and Corey followed up with more stories. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't even take photos! We miss you GRANDPA KEN! You are remembered!

So many memories that just cannot be put into words or photos!
