6th Annual Sand Family Get Together

We had our Annual Sand Family Get Together this weekend and it was a blast!  We all rented rooms at Grand Casino Mille Lacs as well as rented a party room to we could spend time just hanging out and playing games.  We were missing quite a few in the family this year due to work schedules, April winter storms and pending baby arrivals but we made sure we did enough laughing, drinking and eating for all of them who couldn't join us.  We spent time swimming, enjoying delicious food from our Pot Luck Dinner, enjoying drinks, catching up on each other's lives and of course playing a couple friendly games of Catch Phrase and Loaded Questions.   I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do (feel free to take a moment to be surprised) but I did take a few.  Most of the pictures I took were in the pool or of the newest members of the Sand family.  My cousin Kayla delivered two beautiful boys back in December, 6 weeks early, so for many of us this was the first time we really got to snuggle and love on them!  I don't think those boys were put down much at all actually, it seemed like one of us always had them in our arms.  

It was another awesome family get together. I feel very blessed to have family that remains so close and  continues to hold get together's like this even though we all live so far apart and have such busy lives.  I hope this tradition continues for a very long time!
