Oops, I almost forgot!

At the end of September, JG and I took a trip to Oklahoma for a family reunion. It was a truly wonderful time. I met family I didn't know existed and they were all amazing.
I also had a blast being able to introduce JG to everyone. Of course she was a hit. Enjoy our reunion in pictures (yes they will be out of order). 

Me and my bff, Jeanette.


This pic was taken on the final morning of the reunion.
I'm sorry these aren't in order. 
My sister, Sarah and my mom's cousin Anne. 
My Papa (second from left) his 2 nephew's and son (far right). 
My Papa's 96 year old sister Winnie and her two "kids".
We had soooo much fun hanging out. 

JG and her new friend Anna. If I'm thinking correctly,
they are third cousins. 
Papa and his little Chinese Granddaughter. 


Thank goodness for Kathy, if it wasn't for her there would be no
good pics from our time together.  






LOVE me some Aunt Holly.

JG with her GREAT Aunt Holly, her
GREAT GREAT Aunt Winnie
and her Great Grandfather. 



She was a great travel buddy but I was still thankful for
a travel DVD player, that you might notice is playing FROZEN. 
and for her finally falling asleep

This is JG's adopted Papa Craig. 

I'm sad this is blurry. 



My sister's oldest daughter, Aireanna.  
Aunt Holly's first grandbaby, Madelynn.

It took three times to get a decent one and it was still blurry. grrrrr

I got to have another reunion, with all my Oklahoma friends. This is Shannon.  
I was so happy JG got to meet my bff, Jeanette.  
Papa Craig and Mimi Barb got to meet JG for the first time
and spoiled her rotten. 






JG hanging out with her Great Grammy. This was a precious time. 




JG loved Madelynn so much she named her doll back home Madelynn. 
JG got to meet OLAF!!! Thanks Mark and Stacie.

There were several others that, for one reason or another, refused to post. But you get the idea. The truth is, I posted this more for me than you anyway. :)
As much as I would never want to live in Oklahoma again spending that week there with my family and close friends warmed my heart and reminded me that at the end of it all there is NOTHING like family. 
Have a blessed week and don't eat too much turkey! :)
