Thanksgiving Birthdays

We have a large group of family birthdays in and around Thanksgiving so we often had a group cake. Cindy's birthday hits Thanksgiving this year. Happy Birthday, Cindy. 2005
 

Celebrating Chris and Jessica

We celebrated the wedding of Chris and Jessica at Powell Gardens. It was fun to gather with family. Cousins (and Scott) gathered and the senior siblings.

Hanging with the Grandkids

Ray gathered the kids while feeding Morgan. Drew, as usual, clowning around - giving Stacy horns.
 

Grandkids Circa 2003

How folks change in 16 years, at least some.

Backyard Meetup

Drew, Chris and Hayden gathered in 1986.

The November Birthday Gang

Only one missing is Kelly. Maybe Holly is the stand-in.

Who Needs Gifts

We celebrated my great-nephew Dylan's first birthday and he had no interest in the gifts. Rather he was absorbed with a remote.

Watching the Trains

Dad, Steve and Chris hanging out at the rail yards in Topeka in December 1949. Chris seems dressed warmly but Steve is wearing short pants.

November Birthday Celebration

On Thanksgiving in 2005, Chris, Howard, Lee, Cindy and Kelly tried to blow out the candles together but it went about as smoothly as you might expect. They all have birthdays on or within a few days of Thanksgiving. Howard is the only one actually born on Thanksgiving.

Happy Birthday, Susan!

She seems to be having a much better time than the others, especially cousin Chris.

American League Championship Trophy

VisitKC, where Chris works, was hosting the trophy along with a photo op with KayCee the W guy for the Royals. I convinced Chris to get in the picture with me.

Perplexed

One wonders what Steve and Chris are doing. Whatever is intriguing them seems also to have caught Dad's attention.
