The Draney Family Reunion

Me and Grandpa Draney

 

Yesterday was The Draney Reunion! It was held up at the Spruces and we had a great time.  It is always nice to see all the family and get caught up on everyones life. I rode up with my Mom and Dad and then Kort, Russ, and Kendall met us up there.  We made it up there for dinner and hung out for a couple of hours.  Kort and Me were in charge of dessert, so I made little fruit tarts and chocolate rolo cookies.  I was super excited because it seemed like they were a hit.  I do not bake much, so I get really nervous when I have to.  After dinner we stayed and chatted with everyone.  Aunt Trudie had some games for the little ones to play and it looked like they had a good time.  I wanted Nik to feel like he was not forgotten, so I got a clean paper plate and started a note to him and then had the rest of the family join in :) .... Hopefully he will enjoy it and know how much the Draney Clan loves him!

The Fam!

  Well it was a great weekend with lots of loved ones and a nice opportunity for us to remember those great times that we have created with each other! If you know me really well my family means everything to me! I am so grateful for them and am so thankful to still have such close relationships with my cousins.  I am so glad that we all keep in contact and make an effort to see one another!  Two years ago my Grandma Draney passed away.  It has gone by so fast and hard to believe that she is not here with us.  I know that she is with us in spirit and is looking out for us from above.  She loved us all so much and was such a great example to us.  She taught me many things and one of those is to love others no matter what.  I will always miss my Grandma, but I will always be her Kandus LaLa.  Love you Grandma! :)
