Griswalds on Parade!
We always used to joke that our family was the Griswald’s. Do you remember those movies (National Lampoon’s)? We so had a Griswald mobile! Anyway, my sister Lindy is in town and we’re all together again. It doesn’t happen very often so we try to make the most of it when we can. We’ve done a lot of shopping, visiting, we’ve had babysitter and have been relieved of night duty – TWICE – it’s been great to have her in town! We even got together for a child free lunch at Seasons 52 which was such a treat!
Last night we had a family dinner at my parent’s. We took a few photos. Please excuse my hair!
Lindy hasn’t seen Noah since the month before his first birthday. This is the first time she’s seen him walk!
And of course the first time she’s met Kate.
Can you see Kate sticking her tounge out at them? LOL!
My niece Julia and Kate. She only holds happy babies.
Here are all the sisters. I would like to put a caption at the bottom of this stating I’m 7 weeks post partum. We need to do this again next year when we can all look fabulous and well rested!
We have a lot of history with this green couch. Here we are in 2004. Why do I always have bad hair on family photo day?
And then here we are a few years before. I’m not sure how many but I think a lot is a fair guess. And yes, we’re shocked about the weight roller coaster too.
And for entertainment purposes we made one more person squeeze onto that poor couch! Just kidding – mom and her girls.

Awww, that is so great that you guys were all able to get together!!! I do not see this bad hair you are talking about but I can say that (according to these photos) like a fine wine, you “Griswalds” are only getting better with age! I am glad you guys had such a nice time together and that Lindy got to spend some quality time with her nephew and new little niece!

OH Dawn, glad you were able to spend some time w/ the girls in your family, and they were able to meet Kate, which is too cute for words. I think every household has a “green couch” that all the family pictures are taken!

Aw, sisters are the best!

[...] And anyone who knows our family or follows this blog knows that on the last night of my sister’s visits we always take a sisters photo on my moms green couch. It is the most unflattering place and position to be photographed in but it’s tradition. I have no idea what we’ll do if mom ever gets rid of this couch! I’m happy to report that this year I actually timed my hair and makeup, can I still complain about my weight? Our old sister photos are here. [...]
