hometown party

Well, as usual, no one told me that we were having a party for Sally Kate to meet the family on her first trip to Ocala. I had not planned on coming home this weekend but when I heard the news of a party, I was not going to miss a thing! It was a quick trip home but such a fun and memorable time. We had a cook out and all decor pink in honor of Sally Kate and the new parents. Of course Fern came along too and I was able to introduce her to the family as my new baby :)

what a beautiful family!
And it's not hard to get 4 generations on both sides when that family tree is intertwined! haha! I know the dirty family secrets! :-)
And Fern is adorable, too.
And will you e-mail me your e-mail addy? I either lost it again or have the wrong one-
