Year by year, the numbers keep getting bigger, as do the children.

Words can’t begin to express how much I love this wild and crazy bunch.

“Talent Show 2026” did not disappoint.

We were thoroughly entertained by various adults and kids, including:
Magic card tricks
A pie in the face
Singing the alphabet song while doing the splits
Original solo piano composition
Sisters doing the “Parent Trap” secret handshake
A solo dance to “Church Clap”
Beautiful self-choreographed dance by two cousins
Funnier-than-all-get-out dance by three big boys
Enchanting vocal solo
Poetry recitation by memory
More magic tricks by Opa
A reading from my 1998 journal

It’s my favorite weekend of the whole year.
