So I had this big surprise party for J’s 30th birthday, and his entire family (parents down) flew out for it. His brother A, who is a Lieutenant in the Army, had only 1.5 days here, but we grabbed some quick pictures before he had to get to the airport and fly home.

I love how E is laughing at B, who is actually looking at the camera without a cheesy face!

The Brothers Four

J is the eldest of seven. Didja know that? Didja know I'm the third of eight? Imagine whole-family-reunions in a few years. Um hmm. Exactly.
Ya’ know, it is actually pretty amazing that all of the siblings color coordinated so well in the last picture – browns, blues, neutrals. We didn’t every try to wear complimentary colors!
That is funny. But…Yikes! Look at my big hair.
Y’all coordinated, EXCEPT for me. I stand out like the big, red, sore thumb. 😛 Had I thought about it, I probably would have sacrificed comfort and put on some jeans and a brown shirt. Oh well. 🙁
