Aunty Chris' Birthday Party

As for everyone, this is a busy season for our family; but what a blessing these last days have been. My mom's only sister, Chris, has been visiting from England. On the 21st we celebrated her birthday at my sister's house. My aunt has never married, so celebrating with a big party is a rarity for her.

Also a rarity is for these little girls to spend time together. Owen's daughter, Emma, is 6 months younger than Abigail, but they are the closest of buddies. There are generally tears shed when they must part. Emma lives in Florida.
Owen is holding his youngest son, Myles who is generally SMyles, but was a little overwhelmed by the number of new faces.
And who can blame him. Owen and Amber gave Aunty Chris this beautiful scarf, which she modeled in "head-covering" mode.
And then there was the attempt to have all-assembled-grands have a picture with the grandparents and grand-Aunt.
