Family Reunion-Quick Review


Little Harry Potters

Our attempts at wands...Daddy's, Mommy's, Joylyn's, and John's.

The cake, made by my very talented Aunt Betty!

The Thomas Family Reunion is something we always look forward to and the 2 1/2 day gathering always seems to fly by. Since I have 23 first cousins and we are all grown and having children of our own (there are 40 great grandchildren as of now)...it is always a blast catching up and seeing little ones grow! The theme this year was "Harry Potter" and it was fun playing games, making crafts, and celebrating Harry's birthday.....Thomas style. Joylyn really enjoyed making a wand. John enjoyed playing the water balloon (dragon egg) game and broomstick race. I enjoyed catching up with my many wonderful cousins and seeing Joylyn and John make friends with their family! It was also nice being with Grandma Thomas as she is 85 and getting slower and slower it seems. We pray that she will make it to many more family reunions!
