Country Cousin

My sister Michelle has always been a champ when it comes to supporting her brothers and sisters in any family events. We are talking births, blessings, baptisms, ordinations, farewells, weddings you name it! This weekend it was her family's turn to be supported.

We made a late departure from Amarillo and drove the seven hours to Durango for the momentous occasion of the youngest Gilleland, Jebb, getting baptized! What better excuse to spend a weekend in one of the places we love most with the people we love best?

Saturday was the big event. My parents, our family and the Hannays were all filling up the Gilly homestead with noise and laughter.

After the wonderful baptism performed by oldest brother Gabe, we returned to Gilleland's for fun, food and frolic.

Grandma Ross made this beautiful quilt for Jebb.

Then it was off to shoot guns that Grandpa had brought. Luckily we didn't have to go far. The Gillelands have enough room that we didn't have to worry about shooting a neighbor.

 

 

 

This was actually the very first and only time I have ever shot a gun! Can you tell that no one gave me any instruction on how to hold your arms! I didn't hit anything! Hahaha.

Another great weekend with our country cousins. See you again soon!
