sweet home alabama!!

we recently went to alabama to surprise my grandmother daisy for her 86th birthday. mike and rell finally got to meet my mom's side and we had a blast. always tons of laughs and of course sad goodbyes. hopefully we will make it back next year. rell had a blast and did so well with everyone. i do have 9, make that 17 aunts and uncles, i think 27 1st cousins and the spouses and something like 17 2nd cousins. so she did very well despite the lack of sleep and crazy laughs from aunt bobbie's mouth!!!
we also went to panama city beach one day to get a bit of quiet time in with just the family and let rell see the beach for the first time. she did not like the water, i think it was a bit cold for her.
enjoy a few more pictures.
