MORK GATHERING







Our last family gathering happened on the Monday after Christmas.  We celebrated in St. Cloud with Allen's family.    It was a special time as we have not all been together for...a long time (maybe years?).   Allen's parents along with his youngest brother, Bill (and family) made the trip back to Minnesota from Arizona this year.  
We have many of the same traditions...singing, games, dinner and a gift exchange.  I love the singing part because Allen's mom plays the piano for us.  She is an accomplished pianist who can sit down and play just about anything anyone might suggest.  Now that I think of it, I wouldn't mind if we all stopped singing and just listened to her play!!  Anyway, it was a rare treat to be together.

It was fun to add two boy cousins in the mix of the next Mork generation.  Up until now, it has only been girls.  We are excited to think that our boys could carry on the Mork name!   I was happy  to snap a shot of Allen and his two brothers.  Believe it or not, Allen is the shortest of the three boys.  Hard to believe, but easy to see when you look at the picture.   What a fun day for the brothers to reconnect!  I hope we have the opportunity to get together again soon.
