My Great Grandpa Burdick is turning 100! We went to a big birthday celebration in honor of him. My cousin Melissa and her sister Liz are some of my favorite people. Right before this picture they laid big kisses on Great Grandpa for a picture. I'm surprised he didn't turn 10 shades of red.
Three generations of Burdick men. Front row: Uncle Rob, Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Uncle Russ; Back row: Uncle Marty, Uncle Brian, my dad QuinnMy grandparents had 10 kids-5 boys, 5 girls. Of the 10 children 7 were able to make it to the celebration.
Some of my best friends/cousins were there-Missa, and Allie
Sistas! Liz, Missa, Sian
My grandpa's family outnumbered all of his other siblings' families to celebrate his father's birthday. I'm so glad we could all make the trip to honor Great Grandpa.

Great Grandpa doesn't even look a day over 70! He looks great!
It's not very often that five generations get to be together so we took lots of shots.
Calli had a very hard time meeting Great Grandpa. She wouldn't even make eye contact.
Aunt Jeanine spoiled the girls-Calli, Cassideen, Arwen (Melissa's girl).
All of my aunts, uncles, and cousins stayed in the same hotel. The first night we stayed up late playing games and visiting. The next day we went to a park and let the kids burn some energy on the slides instead of jumping on hotel beds. Most of them went swimming afterward but we stayed in the hotel. Aunt Jeanine was getting votes for favorite Aunt by handing out treats and goodies to our kids.
Can you see the resemblance? Calli looks so much like my sister Tara and my Aunt Jeanine. People have said, "She is a Burdick, no doubt about it!"
