The 25 Days of Christmas - Day 28

weddingday-Denise and Greg

Happy (11 days early) Anniversary to my inlaws. They started a Hardin tradition of marrying at Christmastime. All three of their children were married in December. 

Little Jonathan and those Hardin genes

As we're only a few weeks away from the arrival of the first Hardin baby of the next generation (our nephew Haze Dayton), I thought it was a good time to share some adorable pictures of the first Hardin of the previous generation. 

Jonathan was such a cute little boy, wasn't he? Even that unfortunate camo tank top can't cover up his cuteness.

Oh, and he still makes all of these funny faces.

Here's to the next generation of Hardin genes!

The Yates Sisters

Jonathan's grandmother Sadie was blessed with a large family. She was one of eight children, and seven of the eight children were girls. Sadly, her sister Ernestine died as an infant, but the remaining sisters (Kass, Lois, Olivene, Martha, Sadie and Linda) were very close. Here are a few photos from their family gatherings over the years. There were some good genes in this family!
