Chapter 3 O'Dells Reunite

O'Dell reuniting unofficially began on Saturday evening at the home of Papa and Gigi. My mother-in-law knows how to throw a party. How she managed to get all the food prepared and decorations in place with our 4 little people running around, I will never know! That evening the immediate O'Dell family members gathered together for some yummy eating, pool playing, picture taking goodness. It was so much fun! Gathered together were: Phillip and Cindy O'Dell, parents of David & Heather O'Dell and Cari & Cory Calhoun, grandparents to Carter, Summer, Tilly, Lincoln, and Story. Ken and Phyllis Sheckell, parents of Yvonne. Also parents of Jeremy and Stacy Sheckell (who could not be there). Grace Ostman, wife to Dave (who was in China), mother to Ashley and Derrick Rodriguez, grandmother to Ella, mother also to Emily and Aaron Dilts (who were unable to come because their first daughter Madaline was to arrive any moment, and has since arrived), and mother to Andrew and Wendy Ostman, grandmother to Joshua (who were also unable to attend). Larry and Laura O'Dell, parents to Jeff and Carissa O'Dell, grandparents to Aris and Aubrey, and parents to Erin O'Dell (who was also unable to attend). Here are some snapshots of the family members present. (Thanks in advance O'Dell cousins for letting me steal your pictures off facebook!)
