Memere's Birthday

Long time, no post... I know!  I have a bunch of pictures to post, so bear with me for a few minutes!  This past Saturday was my mom's birthday and we were lucky enough to ALL be able to get together for dinner with the exception of my sister's fiance, Jeff.  These days, that's not too bad - only missing one person!  We grilled out and had a fun night celebrating Mom!  Brett celebrated with a fever and a cold, which we later found out was just a nasty sinus infection.  He's all better now :)

As usual, Kate wanted to help open presents

This was the card that Kate picked out for Memere - a "Monkey Fairy Princess" on the front of it.  Who cares what the inside said, right?!

Mom with her shiny new trash can... the old one (while cute) was finally biting the dust!

Kate is definitely my child

Whoops!  Missed one!
