My brother and (most) of his family came out from Chicago for a visit. So my sister from Eastern Oregon decided to come over too. So my daughter from Seattle and my daughter from LA decided to come too...and before you knew it, we had a family reunion on our hands (sans a few of my neices). This was the first time my brothers and sisters and I had been together since my Mom passed two years ago. I had everyone over to my house, including the spouses and the kids and grandkids, for a barbecue. I am never happier than when I have my family around me, and I wanted the evening to last forever.

| Eric, Chad, me, Karen and Laura (I didn't take this photo obviously, budding photog, Piper did.) I'm the youngest of us five kids, so I got bossed around a lot by all four of them, but I have to admit, I also got loved, protected and coddled by all four of them as well. |

| Brother-in-law Casey, son-in-law Jesse, and Eric sharing a laugh. I love to watch the guys together...doing the "guy thing." |
 |
| My grand niece Johonna (named after my Mother). Could she be any more adorable? |
 |
| Talking, catching up, laughing, sharing....this is family. |

| Brianna and Sara trying to catch a few rays of sun and sharing a sister joke. |

| The little "Ellis-ettes". My kids, my brothers and sisters kids, and a few babies in bellies. |
