Family Reunion
Sunday May 29th was the BIG family reunion and 90th birthday party for my Grandma Smith. We drove from Hot Springs to her home were the whole Smith side of the family was waiting.
This is the family reunion t-shirt that my mom designed and my sister Jennifer drew :O) It has everyone on there ~~ I thought the color was fantastic.
Here is Grandma Smith shining brightly on her 90th birthday (well her real birthday is June 3rd, but we are willing to overlook it) She got some great presents and her cake was beautiful and delicious :O)
Here are the Potter's ~~ the family just keeps getting bigger ~~ I only had to take 4 pictures to get this one that at least was decent.
The Russell's ~~ I took 6 pictures and still could not get a perfect one. But this one is as close as I could get ~~ this is my mom's sister's family.
The Smith's ~ I only took two pictures of this group and I think this one turned out quite well :O) This is my mom's brother's family!
The sat outside in the heat and grilled and sweated. The women talk and talk both inside and outside. The kids played with their toy provided for them for the reunion as well as a sand box. They had a lot of fun. We ate burgers and hot dogs, chips, and just had a wonderful time catching up. Though to really catch up one would have to have like a week, but what are you going to do. My mom brought a cow for everyone to sign. See my grandfather had a white bull he called Ole Oscar that I remember from long long ago. So we signed it to remember my grandfather who was there in spirit :O)
