Birthday party

We celebrated birthdays today with my cousin Sooki and her two boys, Kyle and Kobe. Both Kobe and Sooki, as well as my mom, have birthdays coming up. Here's Kate, working on her new scrunched-face, wrinkled-nose smile. She's a charmer, and she knows it!

Grandpa Gary, trying to capture his darlin' grandgirls with his camera:

Sooki and her boys, who actually achieved the perfect picture with the first shot. An absolute miracle, when teenage/tween boys are involved!

Second cousins: Jack, Avi, Kobe, and Kyle.

Hilarious! Jack, right after Kobe showed him how to shove his finger in the frosting:
