Thank God for Family!!

Happy Monday All!! 

 As many of you know, I come from a large family and each year for many, many years now, we've been having not the usual 1 day family reunion, but a THREE DAY reunion weekend in August.  That reunion was this past weekend and once again it was FABULOUS!  

MORGAN FAMILY REUNION 2025 


 Friday night is Soup & Hot Dogs around the fire night.

 
Saturday Morning we have breakfast at our local (in PA) meeting spot where we link up the 1st Friday of each month for Cousins Breakfast (where we usually have anywhere from 12 to 30 people ... who ever can come).  And then that evening we have Steak & Chicken dinner catered by the same restaurant people out at the farm before Cousin Brett starts his musical show & fun shenanigans.
 
 On Sunday, it's an ALL family gathering where everyone brings a cover dish and we eat at 1:00.   After eating the fun begins with announcing the 50/50 drawing winner ($280 in the pot this year) and start drawing tickets to see who wins the Chinese Auction baskets (all donated by family members).  We had 23 baskets donated for the adults and 17 for the kids.

 




Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the food tables but I did get a picture of the cake that cousin Matthew has been having made for us over the past couple of years ... it is SO SO GOOD and BEAUTIFUL!!

 

It reads:

Our family tree grows wide and strong,
 with roots of love that last life long.
Through many branches both near and far,
we carry memories that make us who we are!

 

 It's definitely a team effort to put this reunion on every year and I only hope we are able to keep it going for years to come.  Sadly there is only 1 of the 12 original 'Morgan kids' still with us and she lives in Texas and was unable to come.

 Ok ... now to get some house work done so I can get back into my crafting cave!

Hope you enjoyed a look at my family reunion ... I am truly blessed with a wonderful & loving family!

Until next time ...
