Guests at the head table: Rob, Glenda, Candace's baby (Glenda, what's her name?),
Mama, Dad and me.
Rick felt quite at home.
Lisa shows off the picture given to Grandmother by her children. Mama requested that this picture be prepared so that she could see it. She felt that she and Daddy never did have a good picture taken in their early marriage. It is priceless, since it was professionally taken in 1943 at Knotts Berry Farm, with all the Hull siblings and spouses. The orginal size of this shot was a 3X4 of a whole group. Their head shots were the size of a dime. Clark and Erin prepared it for us. Thanks, guys!

Laura and Mont love Maddox'!
Mama gives her speech. We are very grateful for her health and strength at this time.
Jim Bradley's birthday was April 8th, when he turned 87 this year. Happy Birthday, Dad!
Everyone enjoys the atmosphere, food and fun. What more can I say?
Cordell and Kerry Ann wave "hello!"

Cordell and I have always been close cousins. I've always respected his
wisdom and goodness...and honesty!
Camille holds Peyton, Candace's first-born. Come on, Peyton, cheer up! This is a fun party!
Janice and Don Burt happily greet all the relatives.
Just Like Sisters! LaVan and Mama are only 12 years apart and are so close in spirit and love.

These are the pictures that were framed. The Walnut is for Mama. Gale has the silver/red one. The rest of the siblings will get one, too.
I'm having one like this made for me, too.
