Meeks 2012 that's 22 years...

A Phillips picture

A silly Phillips picture...

Kiri's chillin' in her first Meeks picture...gotta love this little thumb sucker

Grady is growing so quickly and has really developed such an adorable personality!

Max walking with Grandma.

The top pic is 2011 and the bottom is 2012...the kids look older but Julie looks the same!

Lia bug...so cute and happy and content!

"Yo ho ho!!!" Jake and the Never land Pirates!!

Max riding on Daddy's shoulders.

Hanky and Max showing their corn dogs.

Apparently there is a picture of these two as little girls holding these at Meeks in honor of their Grandpa Sylvester, whom I look forward to meeting one day.

All the kiddo's

All* the Phillips men fishing together. * Max loves for me to read the blog to him...and he complained of my poor editing skills as he instantly noted that HE was not in the picture, to which I replied that he wasn't a man yet...though he certainly is a big ,'boy.' Then he quickly noted that George is a man and a Phillips and not in the picture...I really an amazed at all of the things that come out of this boy's mouth! So, sorry, George, for the oversight!!!

Na-na, Max and Audrey hard at work on their crafts.This year the adults made letters with Spanish moss...I think they turned out spectacularly. I am in charge of next year's adult craft...under $10...and the pressure is on. Gotta love Pinterest.

Jim , Julie and their progeny.Note Annie's face is in mockery...

A silly pose...

The feast...as always was delicious, particularly this year, we added green beans with bacon and mushrooms grown in Adam and Camille's yard. Not the bacon...'cause that would be a little weird.

Another delightful addition was Jody's 'Minute to Win it,' games...who doesn't love a good round of self degrading challenges! I hope this becomes part of the annual festivities. Church was also great this year, with talks by Annie and Eric. I think we all felt the spirit of gratitude for our families and the gospel.
