Sha-Na-Na-Na

Family Ties run deep. Especially during the holiday season. 

Why does the back row always causes trouble in photos?**

Grantie Conni generously loaned Baker her tissue to chew. 
Baker sprouted a few more teeth over the holidays. She now has all her 1st year molars.

Cousin Clare let Baker read her Grandpa's coffee table book.

**Edit: Why yes, Josh, there is a story behind the scarfs, thanks for asking. Let me fill you in.
Being a Sherblon requires a devotion to our Western European heritage. Well, it just so happened that my aunt & uncle, Cheryl & Denney, travelled to England, Ireland and Scotland over the summer. Being Sherblon-ish, they knew of a past family name, "Bruce". During their travels they found scarfs of the name Bruce ... evidently plaid prints are the equivalent to family crests in Scotland? Not only that, but there were 2 different plaids, one containing the color pink and the other called "Modern Bruce" (given to the men in the photo above because it doesn't contain pink). To top it all off, the Bruce family apparently had a motto: "We Have Been", which isn't nearly as clever as the family motto "We Always Will Be".    <- Credit Bobby for that last joke.

It looks like you Photoshopped that top row in. That's hilarious!
