Family reunion...
I never really gave the reunion for my Grandparents 50th anniversary much mention, but here are some pictures from the momentous day. I don't know who took them, but Jordan uploaded them onto his Gaia journal and has let me repost them onto my LJ.
Warning, they are rather big.
Poppa with eldest great grand daughter, Mariah
Poppa with youngest great grand daughter, Kaitlin.
Middle great grand daughter and Mariah's younger sister, Robin.
My cousins Hannah (whisperelmwood) and Andrew.
Poppa reading out a speech he'd written a while before while Nanna pokes him with a stick.
Mum, a cheeky Mariah, and myself listening to Poppa recite his speech.
From left to right, life long neighbour, Laurie, cousin Gareth and partner Tanya with baby Kaitlin, and Mum.
Cousin Hannah (whisperelmwood) and Auntie Jacky's girlfriend, Lynn.
Auntie Pam, cousin Andrew, behind him Hannah's boyfriend, Matt, cousin Leila and cousin Gavin.
Lifelong neighbours, I think his name is Jimmy(?) and son Nathan, next to Jordan.
Meet our tribe.
Back LtR, counsins Gareth, Andrew, Gavin, Brother Jordan (in the words of whisperlemwood "We breed them tall and handsome in our family"), Ian (Leila's fiance), Leila and Me.
Middle LtR, Baby Kaitlin and Tanya, cousin Hannah, Poppa, Auntie Pam, Mum, Auntie Jacky and Pam's husband, Uncle Phil.
Front LtR, Auntie Kriss (grandmother to Mariah, obin and Kaitlin) with Robin, Nanna and Mariah.
Everyone including Matt (next to Hannah) and Lynn (next to Jacky)
I love how baby Kaitlin appears to be saying "Ta da!"
'The Four Witches'
Jacky, Pam, Poppa, Kriss, Mum and Nanna.
Just me, Jordan and Mum.
