Reunion # 2 Great-grandma Udall's Birthday Celebration

Max and I went to Arizona for my husband's 2 family reunions. The first of those was the extended Udall family reunion, in which we celebrated his grandma's 90th birthday. The thing that surprised me the most was how two people can really multiply over the years! Max is her 100th great-grandchild, amazing! Here are a few pictures from that.

Uncle Tommy and Aunt Camie would lie on the bed and Max would fly over them and just grin and giggle. Max wouldn't dare claim a favorite, but Uncle Tommy is in the ranks!


In the huge 'Great-grandchildren of Gwenn' photo, many babies and toddlers were quite unhappy - in zooming in on Max, his state was once of sweetness and innocence. Again, Hector is holding him. Hector is Max's first and second cousin all because Brig and I met at a family reunion! Hahah. For those of you we don't know, our family tree is a little messed up. I married my Aunt Kate's husband's brother.


Brig's immediate family, only missing HIM! There are now 23 grandkids. A little table was set up for Brig so that his relatives could write him notes and see pictures of him. I told him he didn't miss much because everyone really only wanted to see MAX!


Aunt Sym and Great-aunt Karma give Muffin a little kiss.


Brig's cousin Mindy, who organized this whole party with Lindy, Brig's sister. They did a fine job and Lindy, who was due any minute, didn't have her baby at the reunion unlike Brig wanted. He said that would have been something to really talk about. Her baby, Tevi, was born last Monday... more pictures on that to come! (Mindy, you inspired me to up-date my blog, so you get your very own picture! You are great!)


Cousins Alli, Barry, and Lily (3 of Cord and Heidi's 5 children) I hesitated to post this picture because I don't want Brig to realize that his nieces and nephews are growing up, especially Lily, who said she would stay little forever.


This is Brig's sister, Sym and her cute family. I am putting this one on here for my mom and little sister, Julionna, who say that Nina (their 4 year old little girl) is the cutest Udall kid! I should put a pouty face picture so they don't think that, but she always looks cute even when she has her moments. Brig, she is growing up too. She doesn't have her little pot belly anymore!


Brig's cousin, Emily, who fell in love with little FatMax. She kept finding me just to steal Max and even put his to sleep.


Grandpa Barry got a hold of Max and roughed him up plenty of times. It doesn't phase him at all. Brig, he won't be a little Mama's boy! I think some people are actually scared of him.

Over all, we like the Udalls. Haha! The program part was wonderful and made me grateful to have such awesome in-laws.
