Family Reunions 2014

The WHOLE Hansen Family got together in June.  All 7 kids and their families.  It was so good to see everyone and so crazy!  At one point I went into Grandma Hansen's kitchen and I swear there were 30 people in there talking and laughing with the music blaring.  It was awesome...in small doses :) Aunt Kristina, Uncle Jordan and I joked that Aunt Kathie's house was where all the in laws go to take a breather when it got too crowded for us :)  But seriously what a great family who love each other with so many people who love each other.  What are the chances?  We're lucky to be a part of it.

 We had Uncle Saul and Aunt Kate's wedding reception the Saturday of the reunion.  Here is Ian with his best friend from High School, Andy LaMarche.

And here are the wedding cakes that Aunt Mariah and Aunt Shiloh made.  

The King Family Reunion was at Priest Lake. 

We were missing Ian because of school work (it will be worth it right?) and Jackson who is in Juneau.  But good times were had by all.  It was cool to watch Isla fall in love with the place I grew up in each summer as a kid.
