Happy Birthday Family

In my family there are 12 birthdays in May and June. Since my parents live five hours away rather than come up 12 separate times they come up for one big celebration. We just had a big birthday bash. Happy Birthday Grandma, Alex, Ethan, Abby, Pat, Anna, Lori, Josh,
Jenni, Tyler, Amy, and me.
Look at this beautiful chest my dad made me for my birthday. Isn't he amazing. Now I need to get busy and fill it. Sorry for the grainy pictures. It is early and overcast. Not a lot of light happening here.

Happy Birthday, Em! That is a whole lot of birthdays to celebrate at one time. I bet singing Happy Birthday to everyone and trying to fit all the names in is hilarious. The chest is beautiful!

What a wonderful "Birthday" reunion kind of thing to have! Good thinking in regards to your parent's travel...

What a great chest! Lovely! I should ask my brother (woodman) if he can make me one! A hint for a 25 anniversary gift maybe... 8-)
