Last Sunday, we headed to Christiana, TN for a reunion with my grandmother's (mom's mom) side of the family. We all met at my Uncle Chris' house for a day of food and fun. The weather was lovely, so we spent the majority of our time outside. Chris and Sharie have a beautiful yard with ponds, gazebos, etc. so it was the perfect place to relax and catch up with family. Chris also grilled some yummy chicken and hamburgers and made his famous crab bisque as an appetizer...this along with everyone's "fixins'" made for a delicious meal (I just LOVE pot-lucks!).
We weren't sure how Cole would fare, being that most of the family there were complete strangers to him. He usually doesn't leave my side in these types of situations, but to our surprise, he played ALL DAY LONG! He really took up with my Uncle Tony and followed him everywhere outside :-) Even without a nap, he stayed so happy and crashed in the carseat as soon as we got out of the neighborhood about 4:00.
I just love days like this. I love seeing the history and heritage of my family displayed through stories, laughter, and hugs. I pray that Cole comes to treasure this as well and passes down a love for the Lord to his children and future generations.
