Dad Clawson's Birthday Party

We have started a sort of tradition of having a birthday gathering during the month of October in celebration of my Dad's birthday. Since his stroke last year he is not able to get out and visit us like he used to and we don't get to see him as much as we would like. This was the second such to-do that gives us a chance to bring the whole fam-damily together. We arrange to use the church building across the street from Dad's house where there is lots of room to spread out and move around. Dad seems to enjoy the "organized confusion". We had a nice time. This is a pic of Dad with seven of his eight kids. Standing: Becky, Beth , Chey, Melanie, Merri. Seated: Barb, Dad, Cory. Lacey is missing from the photo.
