We sure have a lot of them...and my cousin, Elliott's, kicks off the season. I love to celebrate holidays because it means I get to see family.
My daddy's family gets together for every birthday. The scene is very similar whether it is at Grammy's, Auntie Evelyn's or Auntie Amy's house during the summer...Sophie is wearing an apron and taking dinner orders, Nicholas drafts my daddy to play Playstation, Auntie Amy and Mommy jump and dance to make me laugh, Grammy or Sophie feed me and Uncle Nick grills the meal while drinking his Sam Adams juice. Sometimes there is a bigger gathering with GranDad, Libbey and all of the Ponds. I can't wait until July and August for summer birthday BBQs for Grammy, Nicholas, Sophie, my other baby cousin, Ethan, and mommy.
Since mommy's family is far away there haven't been as many birthday gatherings together, but then again, I'm not even six months yet. My first road trip was to New Jersey to celebrate Auntie Nancy's special day. Last week, we went back to see Grandma Judy, Grandpa Rich and the Robbins family to party for Elliott's first birthday. He's now ONE. Wow, he's old. See the photos of all of us together. I got to meet a few extended members of the Fine family, too...my cousin, Abe and his daddy as I had already met Aunt Jane, Aunt Paula and Uncle Merrill.
