Family gatherings in my household always include:
+ A pile of vegetables
+ (but also a roasting bird for the non-vegans)
+ Grandparents who don't like being photographed
+ A dramatic 9 year old who LOVES being photographed
+ Menfolk doing productive things in the garage (in matching coveralls no less)
+ Plenty of discussion about said productivity with new members to the clan
+ A brother participating in Movember
+ A sister who is way more of a morning person than me
+ Culturally insensitive headwear
+ A gratuitous picture around the table
+ iPhones
+ A mini photo shoot with sister and her husband
(like, really mini. It was 30°, way too cold for a pair of Texans)
+ A few self-taken pictures that I always find on my camera later
+ Stylish Pinterest-inspired outfits
It also includes nonstop board games, four kinds of pie, gospel meeting, family stories, 800 cups of coffee, someone disappearing for 3 hours because of an accidental nap (sorry I'm not sorry), pancakes, ultimate frisbee, and lots of laughter.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Or cold on a bed of lettuce, depending on your cholesterol level.

+ That is an excellent picture of Sam.
+ I was only a morning person because I was HOME and excited to see yall yes I said yall.
+ Culturally insensitive CUTE headwear. Seriously, we all rocked the look. Still waiting for a comment from our favorite Indian.
+ Too funny that the iPhone models were accidentally lined up like that. Made for a good picture, although I'm sorry I was one of those people..
+ Love the picture of my husband (what? I have one of those?) and me. He is totally grimacing, not smiling and it makes me laugh.
+ My glasses look black in that selfie and I'm diggin it.
+ Thank you for saying my outfit was stylish.

+ yeah they do
+ you're welcome

So fun to see all of your photos -- although, it makes me miss your family a ridiculous amount. Also, I must say I am particularly enjoying your posts lately - the photos, the quotations, the quips. Keep it up girl, you're fabulous.
ReplyDeletethanks Amanda, you're sweet. :) We miss you too! come visit!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of your grandparents- was so special to see them late spring.
ReplyDeleteAnd the shot of you all around the table- just sat here and smiled for a bit! Given that you guys (neither the Ross bunch nor the Gary bunch ;) ) were not even in IN when I was there, I sure feel attached to you!! Loved seeing G&K and kids again, too!
