Family Time - In My Former City

.
Saturday while Fisherhubby and I were here in Central Wisconsin, most of the rest of our family met in Marion, Indiana for the dedication of my great-niece, Morgan.
.
. 

My dad, known to the kids as Peepaw, conducted the ceremony.

Being a retired minister conducting ceremonies is one of the things he does best.
.
. 

Little Miss Morgan seems to take it all in stride as long as she is securely held in mommy Misti's arms.
.
. 

If daddy David looks a bit familiar to you it may be because you saw him on "Coast Guard Alaska" on the Weather Channel.  He flies a Coast Guard rescue helicopter out of Sitka, Alaska and has appeared on that show multiple times.
.
. 

My Sister Pam, who in this case is grandma, holds Morgan's big sister Carson during the main event.

Carson is an old hat at this having already been dedicated herself "years" ago.

Now let the family times begin:
.
. 

Our daughter, Keri, and her cousin Misti who is also the mother of Miss Morgan, star of the show.
.
. 

Auntie Korie with Piper and Mackinley, who are Keri's children.  This is a "mutual admiration society" with plenty of love going in all directions.
.
. 

Kisses all around.
.
. 

Uncle Kelly and Piper.  Looks like Uncle Kelly is recovering nicely from the broken rib and bruised lung from his skiing accident a couple of weeks ago.

You remember the one - - - he skied off a cliff because he was on the black diamond expert slope and OBVIOUSLY he's no expert.
.
. 

Funny faces all around - - - this is what we do best, even Great Uncle Jeff.
.
. 

Jason and Finley finding a little snuggle time.
.
. 

How about a picture of all the second cousins.   Hey, what are YOU doing in there Uncle Jeff???
.
. 

Wait!  The babies, Morgan and Finley aren't in the group.   Better hurry!!!
.
. 

You're not fast enough - - - they crawled away.
.
. 

Say "CHEESE!"
.
. 

Who's gonna cut the cake so we can celebrate Peepaw's 84th birthday???  Happy Birthday to you, Peepaw!!!
