Blowing the candles out

Cateland, Uncle Art's wife, is holding the cake while Grandma is blowing the first of two candles out. I guess they didn't want to risk a four alarm house fire by putting 80 candles on the cake.

Also in this picture are two of Cousin Shannon's kids, Tanisha, with the matches, and Raymond. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of Shannon this time.

Makayla and Cindy

Makayla is Cousin Stephanie's daughter and Cindy is Cousin Billy's daughter (Billy, Shannon, and Stephanie are my Uncle Ray's surviving children - Sadly, Ray's 3rd child, Cousin Michelle, was killed by a drunk driver).

Here, Makayla and Cindy are waiting for Grandma to cut the cake. Grandma has already blown the candles out but has not yet made it to the table.

Makayla, up-close

Shortly after I took the previous picture, Makayla stepped right up to me and asked, "Can I take your picture?"

I did not answer right away and kept taking pictures.
