A Sweet Family Gathering

On Saturday three generations of my family gathered at my sister Laurie's home in Winlock, WA to meet the newest members of the family, my niece Jessica's twins Margrit ( Maggie) and Adeline (Della). Jessica and her husband Bill and the babies traveled from Virginia and gave us a great reason for a family get together. 

(Disclaimer - some of these photos are mine and some I borrowed from Ilene and Katie. When they go on Facebook, I can steal them, especially when they are better than mine.)
 The Mamas and the Papa - My siblings and the "old people" now. 
 Of course there was lots of baby hugging. 

 New mother Jessica, and her sister, the new Auntie Jordan. 
 Baby huggers of the middle generation.
 Jill, who was clearly a baby hog.

Katie

These are the cousins of the middle generation. 
Grandpa Hank with his daughters and granddaughter. 
The youngest generation, the twins' cousins, no longer the center of attention, spent most of the time glued to a TV. 
Although Isaac did not escape attention completely. 
 Of course there was eating and talking and sharing.   
Bill, who is the father of the twins, had family come from California for the visit. 

 Left to right, Arnold, the host, Bill, the father of the twins, his sister, Andy, son of Arnold and Laurie, and Grandpa Hank. 

 Ilene with DIL Cathy, son Scott and son Tim. 
Ben, providing good service for his mother, and the hostess, Laurie. 
 There were showers before the twins were born, and gifts sent after their birth, so this time we did a book shower. 
It was great to meet the new family members and just have time together.
