Four generations in one picture.We invited Bernie's 87-year-old mother to visit us for a week at Christmas. She had a miserable travel experience flying from the East Coast to the West Coast (and equally horrid going back, I might add) but she was delighted to see and spend time with her great-grand-daughter.
The oldest generation in the pic is finally starting to slow down a little and show her age. Nevertheless she can still dominate a conversation from the git-go, and has a lot more energy than the next generation.
The next generation cannot believe how fat she's become, or how much of a toll the last year took on her.
The next youngest generation was about half pissed about the photo, as she was interrupted while messily painting a room. She understood the desire for the picture, but ...
The youngest is thrilled to have her great-grandmother's attention, and the camera's attention, and the chance to smile and show that she has lost her first tooth (a bottom one.)
Four generations, two lineages. And there was not one argument the whole visit. We're cool.

But it is a landmark picture. I too hate my photo taken unless I have final edit. Naturally I have a dozen or so ugly pictures taken at work behind a case of glass I can't remove. *grr*
IMO, the youngest generation saves the occasion for everyone with her winning smile and fantabulous crown of hair.
Nice to see y'all.
