Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren, Cousins

Thanks to my sister-in-law, Christine, we didn't go hungry at Mom and Dad's 60th anniversary. I wish I had gotten a picture of all the crock pots full of delicious things she had made, not to mention salads, sandwiches, chips, veggies and dip. She did it all. All I brought was the paper products. My defense is that a 6 hour drive from Vermont would have spoiled any food that I might have tried to bring.



Also what I didn't get a picture of was the cake my sister, Diane brought. What was wrong with me that day? I usually take pictures of everything.



Heather is the first granddaughter to come along for my parents. However, they did have a few great-granddaughters to prepare them for her arrival.

Here she discovers her long, lost twin in her 2nd cousin, Ava Marie (first cousin once removed? I don't know.) I tried and tried to get a picture of them together, but they were extremely uncooperative,as you can see. Ava is 5 weeks older than Heather.

See the family resemblance?



Also thanks to my sister-in-law, Christine, we had some nice shade from this canopy so we could sit out on the lawn.



Here's Elizabeth (Christine and David's granddaughter) with Ava.

More great-granddaughters, Kiana who will be going into 4th grade, and her younger sister Anastasia, who will starting kindergarten very soon.

I did get a few pictures of some grown-ups, but they told me they'd kill me if I put them on the blog. So you'll just have to make due with these cute kids.

Stay tuned one of these days of Wayne and Heather at the shore.
