my black and white post today is a little different.one regular feature of the reunion is the chinese auction. still not sure why it has that name, but there you have it. it is essentially a combination of a raffle and an auction. each item on the table has it's own hat. you buy tickets and place them in the hats of the items that you wish to win. there is then a drawing for each individual item.
this year we won this lovely collage. aunt mary so lovingly puts this together each year and it is coveted by many. i was struck by the impact that it had on sienna as we scanned the table. she asked lots of questions about who was in those pictures.
pictured are humbert and anna, mama and papa (center left and my kids great, great grandparents), and the eleven children with their spouses. as mentioned before, there are six living and the oldest is 100.
an incredible gift! i feel blessed that our children have this bit of memento of their ancestry.
