Yesterday we had our Littrell family reunion (my mom's side of the family) in Hillsboro, KS. It was really a great time seeing so many of my cousins and their families. Everyone was able to make it except for one of my cousins - 42 people in all! While most of the family is not too far away - central Kansas or the Kansas City area - I did have one cousin from North Carolina and another from Australia! The kids had fun playing with their second cousins. Matigan and Samantha (both 4) were fast friends as both had to take care of their "babies." Elliott reunited with Dawson - when we lived in Independence, Dawson's mom took care of Elliott for a couple of years. They didn't remember each other, but it didn't take long for them to be running around together, playing games, and doing boy things.
It has been some time since we had a reunion. Matigan wasn't even born yet when we had our last one, so it was probably about 5 years ago! It would be nice to make it an annual event, but I know it is difficult for everyone to make it to one place on the same date, especially as families continue to grow and people keep spreading out.
