Happy Birthday, Katie and Alex

[Frog]

My two youngest grandchildren were born 2 years and two days apart.
Makes it easier for mom and dad as they can just do a combined birthday party for both.
Katie is 5,(where does the time go?), and Alex is three now.
I was just snapping and hoping a few would come out a little better than snapshots. Kids move so much you really have to be ready.
Got lucky with Katie on one shot but I also love some of the my Alex shots because how often do you see a kid drawing with watermellon rind?
Family shots of kids might not make it to the hall of fame,(see PJ's worst shot ever), but they are often the most important personally.
I did think about removing the chocolate cake crumb from Katie's chin but figured,"hey..that's the way it was!"

Very nice photos! Glad to see you out shooting again, Jeff

Yes! Happy Birthday to Katie and to Alex! :23:

You have beautiful grandchildren, Frog! Look at that red hair!

I agree about family photos - and how much they mean to us. They are treasures - and to me capturing the moment is more important than getting all the technicalities right.

Great shots......thanks for sharing your grandchildren with us. :thumbsup:
