We were gone, some of you, like, Anne, Joe, Eric, Emily, Katie, Mom, and Grandma already knew that... so, none of them needs to read this... =P
I shall do it "Joe" stile, lotsa pictures! =P

About a hour after we arrived from our 14-15 hour trip, we celebrated Rase's party, because he had turned 5.

Almost everybody was from Mom's side of the family, exept for G&P (Grandmoo and Papa) and ourselves.
