This weekend we had my mom's family minus only two people down for lunch and games on Saturday. When I was younger we would always see aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents on my mom's side either on Thanksgiving or Christmas. Well, since the family has grown so much and most of us cousins have our own families and in laws and parents to go see it's been awhile since we were all together. We've decided not to try the holidays together anymore but to try a weekend some other time during the year so we all can still get together and keep up with each other. This was the first year and it was great!!!!! There are 8 of us cousins and only 2 were not able to come and all 4 of my grandfather's children and their spouses were here. A little not about Grandpa, my grandmother died when I was 13, Grandpa and Margaret have dated for a number of years probably 10 years or so. So, Margaret is like part of the family. She goes everywhere he does and vice versa. They even live in apartments right next to each other on the 2nd floor of their building. They both will be 89 and 90 in a few months!!! They still climb the stairs to their apartment and are in great shape for their age. So, when you see their pictures below you'll know their story. Anyway,it was a great weekend filled with family.

Thank you for the use of your house. It was a great weekend, wasn't it? Jason did a great job getting the married-into-the-family spouses involved, didn't he?
You were a great hostess, and every
thing was splendid. As my grandpa would say, "And a good time was had by all." and then he would just chuckle. Love you bunches.
Your 2nd cousin and Kason could pass as twins!!!
Love the picture of your grandpa & Margaret....classic family get-together photo!
Looks like a great family get together. The sleeping one made me laugh--it is so cute
