snow and a family reunion, in no particular order

It snowed today in Raleigh! It started while we were at Aversboro Baptist Church in Garner at the semi-annual Hicks Family Reunion. Both events brought sweet joy to my heart--the snow because it was beautiful and caused my boys to squeal in delight, and the reunion because this tradition of being able to visit with my great aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. and eat oh-so-delicious-southern food takes me back to my childhood in a way that only Christmastime can.


I took my early Christmas-and-birthday present (a method of gift-giving we December babies are very familiar with) to the reunion and took some photos to commemorate the events of today. I am LOVING my camera. I am still learning how to use it along with the lenses, but I am having a great time learning. It never hurts to have such wonderful subjects to photograph.

This is my beautiful mother with her newest grandson, Sawyer--another miracle baby.
This is a photo of Anderson and Hampton playing in the falling snow. I wish I had not blurred Anderson's face here, but I still love this photo.

Another photo of sweet Hampton.

Bennett was having fun running around in the driveway as it snowed.
