our annual table 17 reunion party

every year we get together with a group of friends that all sat together at our friends eric and jennie shanburn's wedding. it was the first time that some of us had met and we all instantly became friends. at the time we were all going to the bridge church but we have all moved on to different churches.
most years we only get to see each other a couple of times throughout the year. it's sad, but we're so happy that everyone still makes the time to all gather in the spring to catch up. the wedding was on 4/20 so we try to get together as close to that date as possible.
what started out as a group of adults has turned into 9 adults and 9 children....with one more due at the end of this month. so next year the adults will officially be outnumbered!
eric and jennie have also been able to make it for the past several years, but they just recently moved back to st. louis so they couldn't make it this year.
this year, the azema's were our gracious hostesses. unfortunately, the weather was cold, windy and rainy so we had to stay inside for the most part. but everyone still had a great time.
i totally forgot to get the camera out...again...until everyone was getting ready to leave. and at that point, matt, niki (with alivia) and everett had already left. and my self-timer didn't appear to be working (or i just couldn't work it) so i got as much of the group as i could!
thanks so much for opening your home to us all, kacha and michelle! we all had a great time and the food was wonderful! can't wait to do it again next year!
