Molly was ready to change soon after the party began - she wanted to play chase too and climb trees . . .

No family celebration is complete without a competitive game of driveway basketball - 3 generations

Uncle Charlie pushed the girls on the swing over and over and over . . .

Katie Rose (6), Kate (5) - They told me they were telling each other all their secrets on the swing.

Lots more basketball - 


The littlest cousin, sweet Ella (2) fell asleep on Aunt Jan's lap - 



Aunt Carol sent her prayer book she received for her First Communion in April, 1962 at Cure' of Ars!  She is Molly's Godmother so it was a very special treasure of a gift. 

The older cousins, Lucas (13) and Vaughn (12) had lots of fun together - 

Uncle Charlie, My Dad, my cousin Emily

We took the party back to the hotel at dinner time for a Pizza Pool Party!
