THIS is my family???

As my brother noted in his usual inelegant style, a whole buncha family came to Philly last weekend. I'm not sure what the occasion was, but I'm pretty sure it primarily involved admiring me:

Yes, yes, thank you thank you. It was nothing. C'etait rien.

There was also some sort of auxiliary party where Char the Great got pretty wacky...

Whoooo!!! Octogenarians gone wild!!!! Whooooo!!!!

Of course, it's all fun and games until someone's hairdo gets messed up by silly string:


At least I had two grandmothers to console me:


Dad seemed to enjoy showing me off, which was OK up to a point:

Yes, I do like the cuddling...


Whoa! Serious hors d'oeuvres breath! Back off, bub!
