father's day, 2019

 Kirsten hosted the party, and it was just perfect.  The weather was bright and not too hot, the company cheerful and easy-going, kids all so happy to see each other.

 Even this trio of  2015 birthday girls, crazy little nuts, upside down on Kirsten's fancy sofas.

 Cousins in the yard had fun.

 Brothers on the deck:

 And these two--pure cuteness:

 Cake time again!

Aww, Johann

 Kirsten, what a great party.  Thank you so much for hosting all of us.

And we seized the day since we were pretty much all there AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, which hardly ever happens, to get pictures.

Family of twelve:

 A bigger family picture, missing James' and Maria's significant others:

 And these precious little maniacs, oh my goodness, all the cousins.

Nothing but love,  Grandma, aka MOM, and DAD, and thank you Kirsten for this lovely day
