Ice Cream & Chocolate Syrup on the DeckWhat a wonderful & sweet time with family! We were talking this afternoon that there is no other social system quite like your family. We had a great time and were only missing two cousins & a spouse. Quite a turnout for the "First Annual Family Reunion". I was slightly chastised since there were no "Reunion Tee shirts". I will remember to put someone ELSE in charge of that next year. We kept things really simple and concentrated on just enjoying each other. The children entertained themselves in high fashion. The crowning end to the day was when they all started filling water bottles with ice water from ice bucket and pouring it on each other. The simplest of things are always the best of things. A great success and looking forward to next year already.
Thank you God for the blessing of family!
Off to Erie- HEY ERIE- here I come!

WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME!!!!! The house looks great, but the "feeling" remains the same...home.
A good looking crew those Jameses!
I think your house was perfect for the family reunion with your awesome deck and new kitchen. I haven't been to any of these events in years and years, but I remember the feeling of them as a young kid and teen and although I didn't know everyone (....they were always huge events) it was a good feeling to know you were part of a clan and there was always a lot of laughing and hugs.
Your kitchen looks amazing in that pic!!! I really like the cabinets!
Nice looking family!
great job mom!
We had a wonderful time! Thank you for opening your home to us. I will get in touch with you about the family pictures when you return from Erie. Tell Camille and Adam we missed them (Powers, too).
