When you get together for your Mom's 70th birthday, you naturally take pictures. It was pretty cold and not the best weather so we didn't stay out for long. Here is what we ended up with:
A more recent tradition has been to have the grandkids make a pyramid when we have get-togethers. This is all of them minus Nicolas, who was off to the side waiting for someone to call him over to get on and no one ever did, and Daphne, Leah's daughter who is a little reserved, and Tim's girls who didn't make it over for the celebration.
This one definitely needs an explanation. A few years back when watching a slide show of old family pictures we noticed that Mark had his hip out in EVERY picture. They spanned years and every one - yup, hip out. So we figured we needed an updated one. See how naturally Mark does it? Jeff, Leah and I look like we are trying too hard, but it obviously comes easy to Mark. :-)
Dad and Mom tried to get into the hip action too. Guess Mark didn't get it from Dad.
And you wonder why I am so weird. Look what I came from! I love when Dad hams things up, but we usually don't see this clown side of Mom.
In order of age, not by height obviously. I love my family! I have the best parents and siblings ever. Wish Tim could have been here too, but he was called into work. Thanks, Mom, for having a birthday so we had an excuse to get together!
