This weekend we went to Wisconsin for my dad’s 60th birthday party. It was nice to visit at my parent’s house and to see many people that I hadn’t seen for so long. Aunts and uncles and cousins, old neighbors from where we grew up, lots of family friends and newer friends that my parents have made. I made four kinds of cookies for the party (more on that later) and took many photos that I will link to when I get through them. I’ve been extra crazy busy lately even with yesterday off. For now, here’s a family photo of us. Jess is the only one not looking at the camera and smiling, but it still captures her perfectly at this point in her life!

Here’s the rest of the photos. Some are mine and some are photos Sue took:

  1. right now if jess was looking at the camera and smiling i’d wonder what was wrong!

    i have at least one other one where she was smiling.. of course, she was being tickled.

    will link to them hopefully later tonight.

  2. Great photos Shell. I especially like the one of you and Jessica. A lot of Kodak moments! That family picture is a good one. What a fun day. Who knew such an old man could throw such a good party…
