I hope no one will mind indulging me as I post several pictures of myself and my sisters. I can't imagine being a part of any other family. My family is my strength and I am so grateful for them. This is my sister Lisa, who moved back from Alaska a while back. We're so glad she and her family are back. We missed them.
These pictures were taken at our girl's breakfast out, where we exchanged Christmas candies and enjoyed each other's company. We always laugh a lot at these get-togethers. It is very much needed and enjoyed by all. Michelle, Lisa and Teresa are laughing at our funny faces. I only got one funny face picture on my camera. It's just a thing we like to do to make each other laugh ... who can make the ugliest face.
I couldn't resist posting an example. I won't say who these girls are. Maybe you can guess.
Another good laugh was listening to Michelle explain the kind of blueberry pancakes she desired. She made sure the waitress understood she wanted LOTS of blueberries. We jokingly made comments like, "Add only enough batter to hold the blueberries together and nothing more", or "I want the blueberries to burst in my mouth at precisely the right moment." I couldn't resist taking a picture of Michelle eating her blueberries held together by minimal batter. I'm sure she enjoyed every mouthful.
And here is to you what appears to be a bunch of ladies you may or may not know, but to me they represent great love, loyalty, compassion and service. Ten women who are very dear to my heart. And so you know, I include as a sister my mom, my sister-in-law, Denise and my niece, Callie, who was able to attend this year.
And last but not least here are Cathy and I. We sat next to each other and had a blast.

Man! What a cool thing to have all your sisters and sister-in-laws, and Mom all together. That is a great picture! A Treasure.
I agree that you have a great family!
I feel the same way about all of my sisters (sister-in-law and mom included!). I never before realized how very similar you and Lisa look to each other until I just now saw this picture of you two together! It's interesting and I don't know how I missed it before.
GRRRRR. I posted a great comment and it got rejected. To sum up the last comment... Thank you for posting the pictures of some of my favorite people in the world. I love my sisters dearly and miss them all the time. I am glad that whenever I come to visit we just pick up where we left off like no time has passed.
I love my sisters and mom too! It doesn't matter what we do, where we go, or what we're doing, we always have fun together. I'm so glad to know I have so many best friends I can turn to at any time...whether it's a shoulder to cry on, someone to complain to, or just plain have a good laugh. I love you all! (Oh, and Robert, I love you too, even though you weren't born a girl.)
And I'm the proud Mom of all of these wonderful women. I love each one of them SOOOOO much! I am so blessed to have you in my life. I really enjoy our get-togethers and hope they can continue forever. I feel bad when Daddy and Robert are left out. They would enjoy all of the laughs too and would have some to add. They also love and enjoy all of these women.
