Lyman Conrad Gabrielsen Reunion, 2013

Last weekend was the Lyman Conrad and Erma Gabrielsen reunion in Ogden, Utah.  

This is my Grandpa and Grandma:

I'm sure they were so happy to see so many of their posterity together.

About 85 people were in attendance.  

 My cousin, Skip (Alvin, Jr.) and Karleen were our hosts.  They did such a nice job of putting it all together.

 These are the last three left of my parents generation: Aunt Grace (who was married to my Dad's brother, Alvin), Aunt Gary (who was married to my Dad's brother, Ronald), and Aunt Nedra (my Dad's sister)

Leslie and Will Barrowes

Diane and some of her family

Jodie and Mindy's Charlie

Eric and Marcie Bedke

This is Aunt Gary and the youngest attendee, David's daughter Denae and her brand-new baby.  

Of the 20 Cousins, 11 of us were there: Back: Joe, Evan, Diane, Todd, Alex, Eric, Me
Front: Skip, Randee, Pam, and Leslie

I love this picture.

This was my favorite part of the reunion.  A few of us gathered around Aunt Nedra and got her talking about her parents, grandparents, siblings and memories.  I LOVED it!  I would love to spend the day with her.

Aunt Nedra is such a beautiful, classy lady.

Blake and Lily Kay.

Teresa (Evan's wife) was just awesome doing face painting and giltter tattoos on all of the kids.

Lily loved the dessert.  

Thanks, Skip and Karleen and everyone who attended.  It was just a great reunion.  I love being with the Gabrielsen family.  They are a great group of people.  See you in two years!
