Saturday ~ Family Get-Together 2012

Last Saturday was the maternal family's annual get-together. As we've done each year since before I was born, we gathered all together at my grandfather's iconic "mansion." It's really not a mansion, but as a little girl, the grand 1930's two-story farm-style home was like something out of a fancy movie. It was a huge part of our growing up lives, and still holds enumerable memories today. With lots of property, yard, and pool, it's become the trademark of our entire family. And we love it.

WARNING: out of the following 25 pictures, about 15 of them contain one or more of my nieces and nephews. Just sayin'. :)
