My brother Michael and his lovely wife Olivia hosted our extended family at their new home for a barbecue on Saturday. Olivia is an AMAZING decorator and I love walking around looking at all of her neat ideas and the little touches she puts on everything. We had yummy fajitas and the boys enjoyed some fishing at a local pond, while the women helped me with a project for Jacob's teacher (thank you for cutting out leaves with me, ladies!). IT was fun.
BUT when we all get together it can get a little rambunctious. Earlier in the day we were laughing about how my Dad (with his huge hands) would slap/pat our thighs as a greeting not realizing it was painful. Then he would squeeze the top of our knee to tickle us – and you can't help but laugh, but it really hurts! Anyway, I never should have brought it up…
Because as soon as I tried to get a nice picture of me, my mom and my two brothers…this is what happened. Watch carefully…
Somewhere in the middle of that relentless torture, we got a good one…
But it was immediately back to this…
We have way too much fun together! :) I don't think other people even know what to do about it…other than keep the camera clicking (thanks Derek!).
