One photo too many

We got together with the family this weekend for Mat's mother's and grandmother's birthdays. They turned 60 and 90 respectively and we had big parties for both of them. This unfortunately meant wrangling untold numbers of progeny to stand together for family pictures. We met at the Brigham Young home early Saturday for a picture, and by the end of it we had at least one kid in each family crying.







We then went up to Parowan and saw the entire extended family and did yet another portrait, with over 100 people. It was fun to see everyone and how we've all changed. Becket surprised us all while we were just about the start the party. He walked up front, grabbed the microphone and sang Happy Birthday to Elaine in front of all these people. Were not sure what prompted the solo, but it was a cute moment.



We took a nice picture of Elaine and all the great-granddaughters with her namesake, including our own Gretchen Elaine. She is a very special lady and we all adore her.
