Clowning around.

This was the family Christmas card photo in 1999.

We were in clown costumes for Alexandrea's "special" birthday (she turned five on the fifth). What you don't see in this picture, is that our entire family was in costume.

So, here are the pictures to prove that we take clowning around very seriously. Dad was actually almost always a good sport about dressing in costume, (especially when the request came from one of his girls or grands).









Once in costume, Dad really got into his character, as you can see.
