Kayla smiling nicely for the camera with her movie star glasses on at Breakfast..
Some of my nieces and nephews... 14 of my parents children were in attendance along with 24 of their grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Alexis still has that cheesey face!Above is my sister, Dad and Uncle singing at Rosie's Mass... They sounded so beautiful, this is all the video I could get with my digital camera though!

There was a professional photographer available to take a family photo... we couldn't take photos of the final posing, but were able to get a few before hand..

After the family photos, we had another gathering for my Dad's 80th Birthday (doesn't he look great!) We gave him several awards for his achievements: King of Junk Food (always feeding the kids chocolate, starburst and ice cream), The Holy sock award (buys new socks and cuts holes in them for air conditioning), The Recycling Award (very conscientious about making sure the garbage is separated properly for recycling), The Stubborn Mule Award, The Over-Achiever Award (15 kids? One of my sisters found a shirt that was perfect for this - it said "Who are all these kids and why are they calling me Dad?") The At Home Wheel of Fortune Award (my Dad is notorious for solving the puzzles as the boxes go up on the wall), The Crossword and Sudoku Award (I don't think he's missed doing the Crossword puzzle in the newspaper since he was in the hospital unconscious and now is King of Sudoku too!) Many other awards were given to represent my Dad. It was a fun party and a great trip!
