2012 Family Reunion

At the end of June we attended the D family reunion that is held about every five years. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather, Sven, came to the United States with his brother, Aslak. Our actual last name died out in Norway after these two brothers arrived, so that means that any other "D" is a relative of mine! It's fun to get together and have everyone bring a little piece of history and some amazing artifacts to share. I feel honored that I had the opportunity to visit our D family homestead in Norway back in 2001 during my study abroad experience. Here are my amazing grandparents, Kenny, age 90, and Helen, age 84. They hosted the 70 or so people at their home for the reunion.
 Marcus, the youngest "D" relative at just two weeks old.
All the kids got to participate in an egg hunt, which is normally an Easter "D" family tradition. But hey, who says you can't hunt for eggs in June! Each child has two large plastic eggs with their name on them. They are hidden on the many trails through the woods at Grandpa and Grandma's house:-)
 I just love how much Charlie and Josie love to hang out with each other.
Sam bought some raffle tickets and had his eye on this Norwegian hat. He was BEYOND thrilled when his number was called!
