each year, we as the mc-fam, come together for a reunion, the second sunday in august.
it's the original mc fam...4 sisters and a brother...all who have since passed on. but those of us that still remain, come together and eat and chat and well, a few other things.
only one of the original generation remains...my grandma...who married into the mc fam way back when...she's the sole matriarch now.
did you notice the red shirts? well, we have such a huge fam {just my grandparents have 8 kids, 27 grandkids and 34+ great-grandkids.}
the only way we can know who belongs to who is by color...we're red.
and poor aunt mary {my dad's little sis}, took care of the shirts for this year.
{i took this picture over an hour into the reunion...poor aunt mary...still dealing with shirts!}
but the biggest part of the reunion is family...hugs.
...and many many tickles and smiles
...and kisses too!
...and squirt guns...there's always squirt guns!
there's games...some are made up along the way...
we took java along this year...as you can see, she and brooke have a love/hate relationship.
paige and gab hang out...hide from the camera's any way they can!it was hotter than blazes, so b just grabbed a water and poured it over her head...pretty smart if you ask me!
...of course, gab cooled off the conventional way!
family is a very good thing...it's hard sometimes and we don't always see eye to eye, but god gave us family to show us love and teach us patience :)
thanks mc fam!
