The Gathering...

 When the Maryland crew comes to visit, they always bring yummy crabs from the Chesapeake Bay.  The crabs just came out of the steamer.  

What a mess!  And of course the garbage man won't be here for another week.

We have 3 teens under one roof!

 She turned 13 yesterday!  She also asked for bubble wrap, so her dad complied with that simple request. 

 Wrapped from the heart by her brother in Christmas paper.

 Happy Birthday my 13 year old!

This is how he viewed the party in the rain.
