245 Years~

That's the cumulative number of years
Scott and his siblings have been alive.
And they all turn a significant new age in 2011.
Scott-50, Susan-60, Jan-65, and Larry... 70~
AND I only got the photo above after these~
You think they love to have a good time???
I'd say that's reason enough to celebrate SO
celebrate is what we did yesterday in the mountains
at Susan and Tony's new getaway...

It was SO wonderful to have everyone together...
All the big kids~
Scott/Larry (missed Jennifer), Ray/Jan, Susan/Tony, Scott/Me

And the Bigs and Littles~
Just can't say how wonderful it was to be with ALL of them!!!

Pure sweetness~

We spent the day...
Opening gifts~
(thanks Aunt Jan & Uncle Ray)

Eating~
(This girl can clean a chicken leg:)

Horse riding~
(EK's dream, SJ... not so much)

Just being together!!!





And a birthday party~
(you guessed it... more laughing. :)


Happy birthday to 4 very SWEET siblings...
who learned a lot about having fun, laughing, and love
from their precious mom and dad...
Curtis and Louise Ankerich~
They are SO missed and loved
and without them...
NONE of us would have celebrated such happiness!!!
Thank you Mama and Papa!!!
