Barnett 2018 Greetings

This was a year of many celebrations:

Here we celebrate with our neighbors' mother's 100th birthday.

Dot's brother, John, gave her a beautiful bouquet of red roses for her milestone birthday.

Many family gatherings this summer, including weddings, baby showers, and reunions at the Pentwater, MI cottage. The photo below includes members of Lee's Mother's side of the family:

Lee's neice Dawn, her husband John, and their children Jack and Celeste enjoyed dancing around the living room while Lee played tunes on his player piano.

We decided it is a good thing that parents have small children while they are young!

The wedding was very impressive! The couple, Lee's niece Laura and her now husband David chose their celebration to be at the top of Crystal Mountain.

Unconventional and unique.

The song was sung by Laura's sister Julie and her husband Van, accompanied by and officiated by friends.

We had many other events and guests not photographed, including a visit from Lee's Great-niece Crystal and her husband and their two children. Several family reunions in Pentwater at Lee's sister Janet's cottage with her children and their families as well as Lee's brother Larry's children and families.

Every year since we moved to Wacousta, we've hosted Thanksgiving for Dot's sister Pat's children's families, and this year saw another such gathering. Nephew Kelly treated us again with a deep-fried turkey, in addition to the turkey from the roaster in our kitchen.

It is fun to watch our families grow and prosper.
