Hoffman Family Reunion, Part 1

Last weekend we – Jeff, Lindee, Mallory, Clara, & I – headed to Indiana to a family reunion with Jeff’s aunts, uncles, and cousins on his mom’s side.  I have to admit I thought having this in January was insane, and we did run into some bad weather on the way up, but it was such a fun time actually being there.  The planning committee did a great job.  Here they are welcoming everyone, and giving us a rundown on how the day was going to go:  Jeff’s cousin Mark (from the Haines branch of the family), his cousin Sharon holding her grandbaby (from the Angers), and his brother Dennis ( the Longs.)  Just a fun time.100_6698

They had a photographer come in that afternoon to make a huge group shot, as well as various family combinations, which was such a great idea.  We also had a photographer at Daddy’s family’s Christmas celebration in December, and that picture is so great that I’m sure that’s going to be the case with these, too.  Here is the photographer doing her thing – and I have to admit that I don’t think I ever got her name.  I can’t wait to see the pictures, though.  Hopefully they’re better than this one I took of her 🙂100_6715
