The Black Reunion

A couple of weeks ago we flew to north Georgia for Shane's family reunion. The last time we flew with the girls, Gabbie projectile vomited 10 times all over Shane, herself, the plane, etc. etc. The time before that, they both screamed bloody murder for the entire flights. So, needless to say, we were slightly hesitant about flying again....BUT, this time was very redemptive! They did so good this time around...no constant screaming and no vomiting! Here is a picture of them "entertaining" themselves before we boarded.....hey, whatever it takes... :)

Ever since we found out we were having two girls, Shane's mom (Gran) has talked about having tea parties with them. (like they will EVER be old enough to have tea parties...come on!). Well, when we got to Gran's house what was waiting for them? A tea party on the back porch...they LOVED it!! Gran, your wish has come true!


While all the men (and a few ladies) play in the Black golf tournament on Saturday, the rest of the chicas head over to Shane's cousin's pool and lounge (or chase babies :)

For some unknown reason, Gabbie freaked out at the pool and clung to me for dear life, literally...

Jocelyn is upset that she can't have her 25th piece of watermelon

Me and the Gabbster



The Fam...oh, and Shane's mom is getting married in October to a wonderful man, Hayward. (above left)


Auntie Julia



Shane's twin cousins holding the twins...how cute!

One thing that definitely happens at the Black reunion is FOOD...and lots of it!!

You can't have a southern reunion without a huge basket of fried chicken :)


Our new nickname for the girls is "the scavengers"...no matter who is eating what, they want some. They smelled Shane's biscuit and came running!!


Of course after the meal we always brush our teeth (aren't you proud MawMaw?!)


I think she is hiding her snacks in her diaper for later :)


Curls, Curls and more Curls...


Serious face


Melt your heart face


I am definitely their favorite chair :)

Jocelyn "sharing" her snack with cousin Lexi (with a little help from Daddy :)

Got to love the Georgie mountains...or as Shane's calls it... "God's Country"..
