York for GG's 89th Birthday

Our Rhode Island family was in York for the weekend to celebrate GG's 89th birthday, and you didn't have to tell us twice to head on over and join in the fun!  GG is so special to all of us, and we couldn't wait to spend the weekend all together.

Liam and Joergen finally connected that Uncle Jim was Grandpa's brother ("Hey! Just like Joergen and me are brothers!"), and that GG was their mommy ("Hey! Just like you're my mommy!"), but they could have cared less how or why they are related to Dillon, Gilbey, and Anneke, because they just love them regardless!  Shannon and I have had so many adventures together since we were little, and there is just nothing better than seeing all those kiddos following right in our footsteps.

Joer and Anneke sharing some Froot Loops (which he knows is a perk to visiting Nana and Grandpa!):

Cheeeeeeeeeeese!

Frick and Frack, a.k.a. Gilbey and Liam, sharing some hot tea (what?!):

And some iPad games:

Seriously, those two are the best of buds!  Joergen, like his cousin Dillon, was content to surround himself with a pile of books.

Who says the kids should have all the fun, right Grandpa?

Somehow... somehow we managed to get all 5 wiggles to sit for a moment all together for a photo.  Joergen and that cheeeeeeeeese-y smile crack me up!

Liam (3), Gilbey (6), Anneke (2), Dillon (9), and Joergen (1)

Now, in all the visiting and celebrating and running around, I managed to not take a single photo of the birthday girl. Thank goodness Shannon shared this online.  I just love this pic!  Happy birthday, GG!!
