Hanks Family Winter Gathering

For our annual Hanks winter gathering, we met at the Courthouse again. The last time we were there I took a few pictures of the actually building, but it's kind of funny that this time since I'm in "renovation mode" how many of the details of the old building I noticed this time around. I'm in love with the 12" baseboards, transoms over all the doors, high ceilings and the moldings around the windows and doors. 

I took my camera along, but didn't actually pull it out, so all of these were taken with my phone, and they are embarrassingly bad. (But at least I took some!)

I started a fire in the stove, but the wood was pretty wet, so John and Josiah had to help me out. ☺

 Breanna was annoying her dad by taking macro shots of his beard. ;)

I had Sharon take a picture of our family

We didn't do a group shot last year, and it was the last time Grandma will probably ever make it to one of these, so the last group shot with her was at the courthouse two years ago.

Hanks Family Get-together 2013

This year for our Hanks Winter Get-together, we met up in Joseph, UT and stayed in an old church turned into a family reunion spot. (much like the courthouse we stayed in last year) This building was so cold though and you'll see in most of the pictures we're all bundled up. I think at one point the kitchen finally warmed up to 64 degrees, and that was the warmest spot in the place. ☺

We had fun visiting with everyone though!

We were hoping to get a group photo, but it didn't happen this year.

 My great uncle and aunt, Vee and Vicki, joined us this year and it was a lot of fun having them.

 

Janille brought a gingerbread house for the kids to decorate, and they had a lot of fun with that.)
