Family Reunion

Family - what an awesome thing it is. We just finished the 10th Nelson Family Reunion and while some of our many members couldn't make it, those who were there had a grand time. I think spending time with family is the best thing in the world. Renewing friendships, remembering the past, and making new memories are just some of the things that are important about a family reunion. We Nelsons enjoy silly games, skits in a bag, talking 'til all hours around the campfire and lots of laughing. This reunion we celebrated 2 birthdays and had a baby shower. We talked about our sons who are serving missions and how proud we are of the choices they have made in their lives. We missed those who couldn't be there and hope to see them soon. When it was time to say good-bye, there were lots of hugs and talk of when we will see each other again and even a few tears because good-byes are always hard. There is so much joy to be found with family and I am blessed to have a great one. I love you all!!
