Reunion...

We had the family reunion yesterday, and it turned out great. My goal was to get all 13 of my grandmas kids there, we were missing 3 in all. And we were missing about 30 grand kids and great grandkids... We had over 75 people there and we all enjoyed ourselves... Today I'm tired, and haven't moved much from the couch or my bed... Here are a few pictures from our day...

My grandma and Belle; her step mom. Belle is who Aleena is named after and I love both of these women. Sadly Belle is suffering from Ahlzeimers and for the first time yesterday didn't know me. She knew me when she seen me, but didn't know my name. Aleena apparently went up to Grandma to hug her and Belle asked who she was, Grandma said she was my daughter. Belle said "Well who's Carrie".. then Grandma called me over and told me, and I got down in front of Belle and said Mammy do you not know who I am? She said of course I do darling; so I asked her my name and she didn't know it.. So anywho, I teared up, and felt really sad about it.. Thankfully she knew me though. that's a day I'm not looking forward too...
All of Grandma's great grandkids in attendance, there were some unhappy kids wanting there mommies in this crew....
