Parker Family Reunion

Through a lot of emails, a bunch of texts, and a lot of prayer, we were able to plan a gathering with the Parker side of my family - which had not happened in almost 7 years! I proposed a gathering for a fall meal, which turned into a reunion! Sickness kept my cousin Adam and his family from being able to travel up from Illinois, but we had everyone else gathered.

We met around lunchtime - ALL the food was had! It was delicious and we kept eating all throughout the afternoon. :)

My cousin, Aaron, designs jewelry as his profession, and I finally get to own one of his pieces! Love it! :) 

My brother-in-law, Jason, came over to capture some group pictures. :) 

Later in the afternoon, we carved some pumpkins as well. :)

It was such a wonderful day to gather together!

The next morning, we met at Freedom Village for breakfast (Camryn was feeling sick so she stayed home with Ryan - turns out she had strep throat!).
Looking a little sleepy...but me with Aaron and my Papa. :)

The group. :)

We are hoping that our gathering can happen, again soon!! :)
