I wish I had a picture of the entire group but those "official" photos haven't been posted yet for us to copy and save. There were 70 of us from all across the country - five generations in all. My parents are the only ones left from the "first" generation and my great grandson is the 5th.
I do have this picture of my own family performing in the talent show.
We wrote a rap about us and some of the events that had taken place. The dark haired man with the guitar (who looks out of place with all us blondes) is my cousin's son-in-law. We needed his help to keep us all in tune.
It's not every year that you get to celebrate your birthday with 70 people. It was an absolutely fabulous time. There was some secret messaging going on behind my back and my children gave me a Camilla (like Pandora) bracelet and then they, along with my siblings and one cousin group, honored me with beads.
That's my daughter photo bombing. She's the one who set the entire thing up, including a wonderful fruit pizza dessert and a book for everyone to write messages in. Thanks to any of you who left me birthday wishes.
Now it's back to reality. I did get to the local scrapbooking (and a lot of other things) store and will hopefully be back tomorrow to post a card.
