Free-for all Friday: Successes and Failures

So, I'll begin with the failures. I didn't get the 5 generations picture :(  I know, I know, no one is more upset than me. My Grandmother (uncooperative generation #2) was sick the entire visit. Nothing horrible, but she looked like heck and barely came out of her room. I will be going back in Sept. and hope to get one then. I'm on a mission!
I also, did not get the birthday crown made. I forgot half the felt at home in the road trip melee. Oh well, I can't do everything!
This is getting depressing, on to successes! I did get some pictures...

 fun in the California sun!

arm wrestling the Auntie (and almost winning!) humbling...

dancing Princesses,

their court jester :)

obnoxious teenage nieces!

note to self: no matter how many times you scream,"wait! let me focus!", the 100 year old won't listen :)

California Sunshine

Oh, California!

The long drive to Cali was the best one yet. The baby handled it like a trooper. Seeing family and friends was lovely and a good time was had by all. My sister taught me to crochet (I think it's the 3rd or 4th time, hopefully this time it will stick)!

I gave my GG everyone's birthday wishes. Thank you all, so much :) On the morning of her birthday I walked into her room. The first thing she said when she saw me was, "I made it!"

Now that's success!
