FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

Saturday, before Christmas, we had a McCallister Family Reunion.  It was absolutely wonderful to be with our entire family (minus 3 grandkids on missions, and one married grandchild with his in-laws, and mom).  I had really worked hard to put together a fun day... and I think it went well.  

Here is the entire crew:

Our shirts say: 
We're related.
Who's asking?
I want my lawyer.

(My dad always jokes about wanting his lawyer when asked if he's related to anyone of us.)

Here's the agenda:

Here are some fun pictures of our day:

Scott got a chicken purse with chicken treats for his White Elephant gift...

It was stolen a few times.  He ended up with an amazing blanket.

Red Skittle loved his new umbrella hat.

Luckily no one stole it from him.

I love these two boys!

These two were all smiles for the entire long day.

I call that a successful reunion!

What a fabulous day!  I love my family!  And I'm so grateful that FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!  I'm so glad these few are my forever!  And I'm also so thankful for living close to this crazy crew!
