My Sister's 40th Birthday Party



For my sister's 40th birthday, most of our family gathered at a lake house north of Dallas. There were the usual family gathering fixings - food prepared with dedication and vigor, a lake, and a cornhole tournament. Everyone in my family is good at throwing things and it's always fun to compete for the championship.
Mary, Mom, Janet (who is now 40) me, Julie.


These two sets of pictures were taken 23 years apart, and I am cringing as I write that. We tried to recreate our poses as best we could, which explains what Bill's hand is doing in at least the second picture. I was 14 in the picture above and can proudly say I have not worn a turtleneck since. Nor have I curled my bangs - or used a curling iron at all - since then. I guess some things do change for the better.
Same people, slightly older. We're more fun now. ;)
