It's not a party until someone takes his clothes off.

On Sunday evening my siblings and I hosted a party in commemoration of our mother's 60th birthday. And by party I mean that we all made some food and then got together to eat it. Nathanael spent some time practicing his walking skills. You might have outgrown a walker when you can stand up and carry it.
Then he gave Max instructions on how to learn the alphabet.
Meanwhile, Sam was having a great time tossing the football with Uncle Paul, until the bad uncle riffled the ball into the poor kid's gut.
Mimi got a water feature for her deck as a gift from Robin and Chris. The boys took turns drinking from it.
And before long, clothing had become optional and a storm was brewing. Sam and Nathanael tried to hide from the lightening.
And apparently a brewing storm makes a perfect backdrop for family photos. I believe these may be the first pictures ever taken of us sisters. And Robin didn't want to take them.


Happy birthday, Mom, and may you have "many, many, many" more years.
