Like most families that live in reasonably close proximity to each other, we gather for any "special" dates...the usual holidays, Mother's Day,Father's Day etc, but birthdays are the best!
This is one of those few times when all the grandchildren are looking in the same direction. If I remember correctly, I was taking the picture and told them to say "cheese" and they could have a piece of cake... !!!
What a great picture it is so nice of everyone! {PS..I love the bribery aspect and have practiced bribery myself on many occasions...lol}
ReplyDeleteHey, Monica, I do what it takes to manage the photo op...LOL!
DeleteBesides, the kids will do just about anything for a piece of ice-cream cake!!!
I see the cake is included in the picture.
ReplyDeleteJo,I'd love to say I lovingly made it for him, but the truth of the matter is the kids love ice-cream cake and if the kids like it, so does Papa!!!
DeleteIt is great when families get together for happy occasions. Beautiful family shot. Thanks for hosting.

Deleteit's so hard to get everyone looking in the right direction at the same time and an absolute feat to have everyone's eyes open. :)
