Family Reunion and The 4th

I come from a fuckin huge very large family. My Nana (great grandmother) is number 10 of 11 children. She was born in 1916. Anyway, since that generation was itty bitty tiny tots, the McLeod family has had a reunion every damn year. Here's some pics from Mimi of this year's reunion:

love these names (from l to r)
Jimmie Lou, Barbara Sue, Jane Anne, Colette, Delma Sue, & Goldie Ann

the first cousins that made it this year.
yeah, my grandmother has 40 first cousins...FORTY
some of them have gone on to be with Jesus, others couldn't make it
because of sickness or deaths in the family...
