My family has the most amazing tradition. With a family the size of mine - 2 grandparents, 6 parents, and 8 grandkids that range from the uber responsible & intelligent 16 year-old to the ornery & mischevious 4 year-old - you have to get creative to keep everyone together.
So, a few years ago, we started the official "birthday bash" where we gather the whole loud, rowdy clan together twice a year to celebrate the family's birthdays. Half are celebrated in the fall, half in the spring. The locations and activities always vary, but some things remain the same - it is fun, loud, memorable... Oh, I could go on.

This time, we went to stay at a hunting lodge outside Seymour, Texas, and the result was an onslaught of beautiful things.
The sunrise out of a ground hunting blind was breathtaking.
The native Texas surroundings were inspiring far away...
and up close.
The house was Jaw Dropping (like I am still drooling from all the high end finishes and custom details)
The inside was just as stunning as the outside with super rustic furniture which was so UP-MY-ALLEY!
And details that were perfect for a hunting lodge (just a little sneaky peeky into my personality - I would so rock this light in my house - hunting lodge or not!)
There was an abundance of opportunities for pretty pictures of my oh-so-pretty babies.
And then, there was the most beautiful thing of all. My heel wearing, bling-rocking, big-city-living sister doing this...
just beautiful...
