WW: Story Time With Grandpa {Linky}

This weekend we went to celebrate my Mom AKA Grandma and Brother in-law AKA Uncle Eric's Birthdays.

I got some great expressions on camera. The sucky thing was the lighting. I had the camera set to manual, I bumped up the light, and they still came out grainy. Oh well.

My Dad AKA Grandpa was telling Mica and his cousin Evan all about how he met my Mom AKA Grandma.

    You resemble your Dad! I let out a loud chuckle at the V your Dad was doing behind Mica's head. For some strange reason I always laugh at those silly V ears every stinkin' time. LOL

    Awww! Happy Birthday to Eric. I love spending time with family - and my boys are infamous for giving people bunny ears in pictures just like Grandpa!

    How wonderful that you live near enough to your family to let the generations spend time & stories together. I think the pics look fine, kids move around. are grandsons are in different states, so we only get peeks into their growing up in occasional FB post or phone call. Happy belated birthdays to both!!
