My family got together Sunday evening, to celebrate the birthdays of my father, Roy, and my niece, Katherine. My sister, Judi, hosted us and provided a warm house full of great food. It was just our family, her family, and Mike's side. Twelve in all, both kids and adults. The pics are from cake time. I think it was just the 10 candles for Katherine; if they added candles for Roy, we'd still be there, blowing them out (or helping to put out the structure fire). The ice cream is in the foreground of the bottom photo, including one that is black-and-white, which is supposedly popular with the kids today. Hmmm ... I'm starting to sound like my parents .... I'll have to think this over ....
Pictionary Jr. was brought out, but we didn't have time to play. We did have time to reminisce about our family history with Pictionary, starting with the desert/dessert debacle where Judi was supposed to draw "a desert" but instead drew a hot fudge sundae (a dessert), and ending with Mom's attempts to get us to "derringer" by trying to draw a "derriere", a word for an anatomical part that only my mother uses. She still has no idea what a "derringer" is.
