Happy Birthday Aunt Karen!

Happy birthday Aunt Karen!
When I was looking for a picture I remembered this one, I think it would be a great one for you to hang up. I love how happy Grandma and Grandpa look, like they are so proud of you. I was going to change it to black and white but then I thought you wouldn't see the beautiful skin tone you and Grandma share. Not to mention her awesome peach pants suit!
Aunt Karen, we are all so lucky to have you! We love you.

Happy birthday Aunt Karen!  This was the only picture I could find of you as a baby.  When I looked at it closely I was surprised at how much you & Kaitlin looked a like as babies. 

This was taken at Donna and Steve's wedding.

Aunt Karen,
You have always been so kind and caring for your family. You are the best listener and generous with your love and feelings.  You are a person that we can talk to about anything with!   You are always fun and have a great sense of humor.  (I guess you had to develop one growing up with my dad!) We all love you so much.  Have a wonderful birthday and year.  xo

Happy Anniversary to Karen and Mike

Happy Anniversary Karen & Mike!

Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike are one of the most loving couples I know.  I think that they really built a wonderful marriage that is very focused on family. 

I hope that you two are going to go out and celebrate your years together, your happy marriage and wonderful family that you created together. 

We love you both! xo

Happy Mother's Day to all the Minch Moms, Grandmas & Great Grandmas

Happy Mother's Day to all the Minch Moms! We are all so lucky to have such great moms in our family. Moms are the glue of families and ours keep us all close. Moms are always there to support us. Here is Grandma Minch at the hospital after Beckie was born. My mom always said that Grandma treated her like a daughter, not a daughter in law.

Here is my mom with Beckie and I in a rare picture of her, since she is always taking pictures of us.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Minch Moms. You all support your children by listening and encouraging us. You make us feel special and loved. We love you.

Cancun Thanksgiving- Dinner

Kristin was so smart she made all 27 of us a dinner reservation at the Italian restaurant for dinner. The food was great, we had the choice of turkey or beef tenderloin.
