Mom's Birthday

My mom's birthday was Tuesday, so Wednesday evening we had my family over for dinner and dessert. These are some pictures of the fun we had that evening.
My dad allowing Melanie to play with his legs. He really is a great "Pa" as Melanie calls him.

Mom and Amber lounging on the couch

Flying toddler!
My dad and Grandpa Greenlee did this with us as kids, so now it's my kids' turn to carry on the tradition.
This picture is out of focus, but you can see the sheer joy in Melanie's face. As soon as dad would pop her back to the upright position she would lean forward as if to "dive" again.
Grandpa the Tickle Monster
Hiding behind Aunt Laura
He found her!
(Laura was apparently a casualty of the attack)
Directing Pa on who to go tickle next.
Everyone was a victim, even Nana (Great Grandma McHugh) except me.
I don't allow myself to be attacked. It's simply not allowed.
I know I'm a party pooper. She'll get over it.
Lovin' on her godmother
Daddy dog pile
It's never a good thing for anyone that is ticklish when my dad and Matt are on the same team
Observing the silliness
Pa doesn't discriminate when it comes to tickling
Giving Pa a taste of his own medicine
The thrill of the attack
Playing with Nana while sitting on her walker
Aunt Amber attacks!
Claire really likes noses
Laura requested a picture with her nieces
Four generations
