Easter Traditions

For Easter, and other major holidays as well, the Rosenthal side of the family always gets together. And for Rosenthals, this also means we take pictures. A LOT of pictures. And, even though we are in an age of digital cameras and facebook and email, EVERYONE needs to take their own picture. So what you get is a ton of cousins smushed together while each aunt takes about 40 pictures each.

Our tradition as cousins, if you hadn't noticed, is to complain about it.

And, it's not really a tradition, but there are always babies/toddlers in the photo. It just happens with a big family. Younger aunts/uncles have babies, and then the older cousins start to have families. But, what we see when we take pictures is a bunch of adults waving their hands and making noises to ensure the small children look forward and smile.

So, this year we decided to reciprocate. This is what you get.

I didn't get all of it, because I had to take my 40 pictures. Here is how my mature aunts and uncles reacted:

If you missed it, that was my aunt flipping us the bird. I guess she forgot the official animal of Easter is the Bunny.
