The Patriarchs

Just the five now!
Had a lovely night with my (almost) whole family at our 'Clan Gathering'. It was very special to have Audrey and Doug there. Everyone enjoyed being able to speak to them in person instead of via the internet (like we did last year!).
It was extra special to have Uncle Jim there. He was so looking forward to being there that he spent two days before in bed to make sure he had enough energy. When he arrived he just beamed to see everyone....and everyone cheered. He was surrounded by people and conversation all night. :)
It was a very good night, and Stephen and Hazel made a Birthday cake for mom so her celebrations could continue too. :)
