Hawkins Reunion

Today it was time for the Hawkins family gathering... my Mom's side of the family. It was a great turnout and I think only a few cousins were missing and one of my Mom's brothers. With my Mom being one of 7 children, if this side of the family all turns up... it can be a crowded event. Check out the parking lot that was my parent's front yard today once everyone was here:



Bartee was in town for this one and feeling festive, he tried some Maryland crabs... well, one bite anyway. Despite the great flavor of the Old Bay seasoning, the seafood taste was too strong for him to crave more.



The newest members of the family stole the show with their absolute cuteness...



But, this group of 3 year olds also enjoyed their share of abundant affection...



All in all it was a great day and hopefully we can plan more reunions like this in the future. If you're interested in seeing all the pictures from today, click here.
