While our family had gotten together throughout the year at different occasions- this event was a first as we had all the family (except Ryan- who had to work) at our home for an organized, event filled family reunion.
Our theme was "Go Team USA" as we followed the 2012 Olympic Games
and hosted our very own Olympic Games!
