A Second Birthday = Eight Great Grandchildren

My niece, who recently moved to Seattle with her parents, has a birthday the day after Grace's.

So we piled in the car - along with the other eastern washington family members - and drove over the pass to celebrate!

I brought the wrong lens on my camera so most of my pictures didn't turn out.

Luckily, Courtney saved the day and sent me these!

Me and my ragamuffins (in the back)...and my niece, June, picture perfect!

While it was definitely amazing watching little 'Junebug' turn two, it was even more amazing seeing Great Grandma Jean surrounded by her EIGHT great grandchildren.

This was the first time that all of her eight great grandchildren were in the same room with their great grandmother and SO SO glad I was able to steal that picture from Courtney!

It is priceless!

Happy 2nd Birthday June!

Philly 2012

Philly was full of down time where we could just watch all the girls play together! They haven't been able to do that before so it was fun just to watch them have fun!

Baby June didn't know what to think of all these people in her space...

especially the one who was always attacking her with hugs!

"Thanks for sharing all your toys June!"

I am sure that is what Charlotte is thinking! ;)

And June's like...."Uhhh...the toys are over there." 

hahaah

They were wonderful. And it was a delight to see them interact. Grace had a great time "leading" the way!

June is a happy-little-camper! A cute one to boot!

Good times. 

The only bummer. I lost my sunglasses while out to lunch. I really loved those sunglasses and they are the first pair I've lost since middle school.

I hate losing things. HATE, HATE, HATE it!

Makes me insane. 

The good news? 

Because I haven't lost a pair since I was 12, I have a few back up options! hahah

Meeting June

Grace and Charlotte met their cousin, June, for the first time.

What a cutie!

Sure, they are all sugar and spice and all things nice now...

but I sense trouble with a capital T in about 10 years or so!!

At least I will have lots of pictures of them together back when they were angels!
