the Sandifer Family Reunion!

Yesterday was the Sandifer Family Reunion.... the reunion of brad's mom's side of the family. I love that his family has reunions! Our never did & they are so much fun! I'm glad i get to be a part of it. :) I got up Saturday morning & cooked my Romano Ranch Chicken & Rice (as requested by my father-in-law) & my Chocolate Chip Pound Cake, which i make every year. Brad helped me by making the rice & shredding the chicken for the Romano Ranch dinner, thank goodness for that! We didn't get up early enough & i was running short on time! 

 Brad & I at the reunion!

We had a fantastic time at the reunion. The food was delicious! We always vote on the best food... best dessert & best "everything else". :) Brad's Uncle Jerry made THE BEST jambalaya i might have ever had. That is who i voted for & he won. Brad's Uncle Kenny won second for his fried turkey....yes, that was delicious too! YUM! Brad's mom won the dessert category but i didn't even get any...they do the voting RIGHT after the eating & i was too full from lunch to eat dessert already! 

YUM!!! 

They always take pictures of each family & each group at these reunions. This is my 4th reunion with them: i went when we dated the first time in 1997, i went again when we were engaged in 2008, and this was my second time as a married lady. :) I always enjoy going. They take tons of pics & there are always albums from previous reunions ... they have been doing these reunions once a year forEVER. There are pics from long  before Brad was born at these events! Awesome that they continue to keep it going every year, without fail. 

This is Uncle Lon & Aunt Margie. Aren't they cute? I think so. Aunt Margie had a stroke recently, so we were surprised & excited to see her there! She looks just as wonderful as always. :) Uncle Lon is the last left of his siblings. Brad's Maw Maw would normally be in this picture, but she passed away this year. :( This is the oldest generation now at the family reunions. It all began a generation before this. So these are the children & next are the grandchildren. Got all that?! :)
