Celebrate good times!

Cousins Richard Scott and Steph threw a party for U. Rick and A. Shirley's 40th wedding anniversary... what better reason to get together!

Emily was very excited to see her family... of course, she continues to prove she's the shyer of the two children... as Zachary continues to surprise us w/ how outgoing he is! I really don't know where that comes from... but he ran and played and danced... and was particularly happy that the cheese and celery were w/i little arm's reach on the table...

Daddy and Emily while we were waiting for the guests of honor...

Finally! Dziadzia has someone who likes to hide in the corner as much as he! Playing balloons was definitely one of the highpoints of the evening.... here Danielle and Zachary switch Dziadzias.... And even A. Michele and Nick joined in...

The next day brought another happy celebration as we celebrate Busia Rezler's birthday a day early. There was cake...And music...

And Zachary showed everyone his Ray Charles impersonation... very entertaining! I've got video... if I ever found out how to blog it!

And once again, Zachary made his way around...

w/ U. Dan...and Busia helped him put his shoes on....and A. Michele was rescuing him from something here... although I can't remember what...and then, Zachary had U. Dan keep his friends company...while he sat and looked at a book w/ cousin Jen...and Emily broke out of her shell a bit to play balloons and color w/ Danielle... and then they took their turn w/ the keyboard...and one last picture of the birthday girl...
