Like deer in the headlights, our true natures are mercilessly exposed to the camera's unblinking eye. | ||||

Contrary to popular belief, Katie does occasionally eat food. And there was plenty of it, as neighbors and friends contributed vast quantities. | Kathy was inspired by Katie's waif-like figure and has gone on a regimen of dieting—off of other peoples' plates, that is. | |||
Mr. Seven-Up
(Yours) jumped up on the kitchen counter (left) to proudly display his
collection of bottling memorabilia. Here he shows off a vintage Vernors
ginger ale bottle.
However, the excitement of this show and tell was just too much for him. Jon was sleepwalking (top) while the rest of the family partied on. ("Mmmm, yes, nice meeting you.") | ||||
Inspired by his sister's bounty, Jim borrows his sister's bra and winds it around his head in hopes of stimulating some growth up there. If it doesn't work for the hair follicles, maybe it will ignite some brain cells, swami. |
Jessie pinches her Aunt Jane's posterier in hopes of bringing her back to life. On the other hand, maybe we should just carry her off to the couch where Barry is waiting. | |||
Shelley wonders when all these people will go home and she can have her house back again. Alas, Shelley, it happened all too quickly. |

Children breathe new life in a family. Their inexhaustible energy revitalizes even the oldsters among us. | |
At left, Kristin, Jessie, and Dani positively look like
princesses enjoying a girls day out...
...while Dustin and Garret ponder what to play next (below). | |
A couple of angels (Dani and Kristin) flex their
wings...

... and my angel yuks it up with Garrett and Jessie |
The Old West comes to Michigan when Jessie and Garrett horse around. | |
Kristin and Dani share the holiday spirit as Christmas approaches. | |
"Nana" hugs Jessie and Garrett. | The blue and brown eyes are smiling. We suspect the Irish eyes are smiling somewhere too. |
