Happy 60th Anniversary!

My great-grandparents (Great-Gommie and Great Grandpa Leo, Daddy's grandparents), celebrated their 60th anniversary this month with a big party. Hundreds of family and friends came out to congratulate them. Mom and I got to make a big picture board of our family to display. It turned out to be mostly of me (Mom & Daddy need to work on getting more pictures of the two of them)!


One of my favorite people, Daniel, was there. It was a good thing because he woke me right up from the grogginess of my car ride nap! Under the table looked like a nice place to play...
Auntie Jenny makes good sandwiches. I sure needed one. After being too distracted by Daniel to eat when Mom tried to feed me, then running all over the gym with Daniel, I was HUNGRY!

Daniel taught me the proper way to eat frosting...all in one piece.







Same for the cake. Good thing I have an older cousin to teach me all this stuff so I can teach it to my younger sibling!
That gym was a great place to play! Daddy's cousins came in to play too. I had dinner with some of them on Friday, and was very shy (or being dramatic, in Mom's opinion) that night. This time I played with all of them just fine, and even invited myself to play catch with some people I had never seen before!
Uncle Brian and the shaved head...Mom and I forgot to rub it. Oh well, he'll still be bald in June, right?
They tried to make us sit still for a pictures. Seriously, have they met us?!?
Uncle John wasn't feeling so hot, so Daniel had to leave early. He gave me a nice hug and kiss goodbye. Later on, I forgot they went home, and ran up and down the halls calling out, "DANIEL! DANIEL!" I was sure he was still there somewhere...waiting for me to find him and chase him some more.
Mom thought I needed one of my prettier pictures of the day on here...

Well, once again, Mom was right. Your picture was stunning. Oh my, you are just beautiful.
