we had a mini family reunion
on saturday, october 22.
i say mini
because only @half of us were there.
we met at a park in colton, ca
in the neighborhood my cousin lives.
except for the heat,
it turned out to be a nice day.
the cousins had not seen each other
for a few years
and it was good for my mom to see her brother.
there was alot of catching up
and reminiscing about the "good ol days"
especially the get togethers
we had at our grandparent's and aunt's houses.
we tried to take group pictures
but with the mob we had
it was a bit of a struggle.
almost comical in fact
but in the end
we battled the heat and lack of focus
and ended up with a few good shots
the lefeuvre family reunion
(lefeuvre was my mom's maiden name)
audrey with her grandma & grandpa
my cousins lori, larry, & lianne
we spent many summer, christmas, & easter vacations together
at our grandparent's house in los angeles
my mom, doris and sister, candy
my mom with just a very small portion of her posse.
in this picture - 2 children, 4 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, 5 inlaws of one kind or another
my niece, april with her sweet family - mariah, aaron, arianna, andre & marcus
krystin, travis & audrey
my niece, jami with her knucklehead husband, jerry & two beautiful girls - lauren & madison
after spending a day in the park with this group
i can honestly say
that i would choose
each and every one of them
as both
my family
and my friends.
