The last weekend in April a bunch of my family got together at the McDonald Farm for the Edwards Family Reunion. It was really the first official “reunion” we’ve had. We have had many Christmas gatherings, summer parties, and birthday parties for our Aunt Iba that brought us together at the McDonald Farm, but several years have passed since those events. As generations have expanded and deceased we had to be intentional about getting everyone together – so, the Edwards Family Reunion was organized!
We enjoyed Sprayberry’s Bar-B-Que and homemade desserts, reminiscing about those who have passed, and creating new memories with all of the new additions to the family (our family sure does make pretty babies!).
We took turns impersonating old family members and everyone had to guess who was being impersonated…our family is/was full of quite the characters!
We looked through old photo albums...
My mom and her first cousins/siblings took a picture under the same doorway that we have the same picture of all of their parents...
We played Ring Around the Rosie (per Hayes' request!)...
And overall just enjoyed catching up with everyone. It felt good to be back at the house where so many childhood memories are kept by so many people!
Just some other pictures from the day...
Kinda random...Newnan had local artists paint these horses and they were placed throughout downtown for a temporary display and it was the talk of the town! After the reunion Kevin and I went and walked around downtown Newnan looking at the horses.
