So both Nana and Grampy are turning 80. Thats the main reason for the family reunion this Christmas.
We got a private room at the Oasis with a deck overlooking the lake. We got there just in time for sunset and some family photos.
Mom, Dad, and all 6 kids Nana, Grampy, and 9 of the 12 grandkids. Kerry, the oldest, just had a baby girl making Grampy and Nana great grandparents for the first time. Kerry lives in London and her two sisters were there visiting their new niece. We missed the 3 girls.
Jordan didnt get the memo to wear gray.
Fred and his family; Elizabeth, Jake, Makena, and Brewer
Doug and his girlfriend Becca
I guess getting a private room means better food at the Oasis. I am not a huge fan of their food but this night was very special and the food was really good.
Doug presented a wonderful slide show for everyone and Fred had a great speech to share. 80 Years and More to Come!
The party continued back at our house with singing our hearts our for Nana and Grampy. Cake and ice cream included!
Our house was filled with so many family members all talking and having fun. Grampy was almost glowing he was so proud of this group. What a wonderful evening and memories forever!
The night could have stopped there but oh no. This is what happens when you have lots of big men in the house. Cousin Pierce and Uncle Chris were going to see who was stronger. The kids were the weights. The volume in the house consistently keeps getting louder as the night progresses.
The night could have stopped there but oh no! We need to up the excitement and noise level some more so lets start throwing kids through the air. So here go the kids being tossed from Uncle to Cousins and then to mix it up a little they started throwing criss cross over and under. I wish this was on video to see but I probably was just trying to take it all in.
So the night did end with this but we still had 4 more days of fun to be together!
Happy Birthday Grampy and Nana!
We love you!
