The 4th Annual Allen-Shaffer Family Reunion was a success. Everyone had a great time. It was fun to see what Hollywood themes we came up with. Kellie and her crew dressed as the Muppets. Penny, Steve and Dylan depicted Gilligan's Island, James, Diane and girls were the Worst Chef and Dave and Missy represented Grimm. It was very hot so we didn't get around to playing Wiffleball this year...it was better to sit in the shade looking at pictures, talking and laughing.Missp1410http://www.blogger.com/profile/15937748987374554588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183605782037488492.post-18178877465930393062012-06-01T20:12:00.002-07:002012-06-01T20:12:21.078-07:004th on the 4th2 months till the 4th annual Allen-Shaffer Family reunion! I enjoy all the planning and prep for the reunion and just love the day! It is so great seeing everyone, playing games, eating the great food, catching up with the family. I am hoping that we will have a great turnout this year...hopefully some people who haven't gotten to attend will get to come this year. <br />

It seemed like he would always be here. He is still with us, in our hearts, but it isn't the same as having him to see and talk to.<br /><br /><br /><br />I still talk to dad, and I know he is watching over us all, looking down on us and acting as our guardian angel.
