been a tough year with Uncle John&#8217;s passing and all, so it was nice to be part of an intimate family weekend celebration of this special birthday.\u00a0 Can you tell that Mom loved every minute of it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wherearemomanddad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/IMG_2743new.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-378\"

but family means a lot to us.\u00a0 It was even more special because Uncle James and Aunt Patty were able to call in a few markers and arrange for a light snowfall just as we arrived, turning the whole neighborhood into a postcard.\u00a0 Nothing better than sitting in a warm home, with warm family, enjoying great conversation, great food, and of course, great wine!\u00a0 I also got my fill of snow for this year.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few more pictures and stories.\u00a0 Either click on the &#8220;slideshow&#8221; or arrow down to page through the pictures one at a time.\u00a0 Enjoy and
