This is what WE do at family gatherings...

My family thinks they are REALLY funny..... and really they are....So in our Thanksgiving and Christmas photo albums you won't find a lot of lovely pictures of the turkey, or of a beautiful tablescape, and definitely no posed family pictures....but you will find a lot of pictures

like this one of my big bro..... :)

and this one of my little bro
aaaand this one of my other little bro and his poor girlfriend who is being pulled into all this lovliness...

and of course we have to pass along our nutty-ness to our kids...

and here is one of my little brother with is "date"....yes, you are right there is no one there...that's the joke :)

and another one of pure EXCITMENT

Here are a couple more from Thanksgiving Day....

boys outside playing football.....

Brian now thinks he has to lay down on the ground and smile for every picture....not sure why?

Wuz up?

Here's a good one....can you see the pie in their teeth? just kidding.....
and another good one of my MIL and SIL

Well, I'm off to scrapbook these BEAUTIFUL pictures for our fall album.....I'm really sad I didn't get a picture of my brother in law....he was participating in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER...and looked a little like an 80's porn star with his "rockin' 'stache" (sorry William--just had to make fun of you one more time) :)
