This year was a special one in our family, our wonderful Grandpa turned 80 years old. His kids planned a party in celebration of him and his wonderful life and the poseterity that he has raised. It was so much fun to get together and to see family that I haven't seen for a long time. Grandpa has 10 kids and 9 of them were able to make it. Roseanne (Gus), Grant (Gwen), Serena (Paul), Marilyn (Val), Zina (Kyle), Sarah (Tim), Kyle (Katie), Krystel (Kevin), and Rebecca (Travis). Most of the grandkids were there as well. We were only missing Garrett (Arial), Chad (Ashlee), Carrie (Erick), Courtney (Paul), Lauren (Rhett), Lyndsay (Brenden), Mandy, Jacob, & Cody. We missed Loretta, who is living in Michigan and couldn't get away with it being the Holiday weekend. There were 91 people that attended and about 75 were from grandpa's line, the others were Sharon's kids. It was so fun to let the kids play and the adults visited and caught up with each other. I have great memories with all of my cousins and I feel like we have had great opportunities growing up to be able to spend time with our cousins and to get to know them and for them to become some of my greatest friends as well. I am glad that our family is so close and that we love to get together and spend time together. I seriously could spend weeks with all of these people and never tire of them. I love them all and I am so grateful to be a part of this truly wonderful family. I am also very grateful to call Richard Williams my grandpa!
