Happy Birthday Grandpa Charlie

A good-sized contingent of Reps relatives joined forces today to wish CReps a happy 86th birthday. We're fortunate to have such a terrific dad/grandpa/great-grandpa who doesn't mind the craziness when a mob descends on him to celebrate.

Present at the birthday festivities were Mark ; Karla & Paul; Aunt Marguerite; Charlie, Angie, Ethan, & Owen; Annie, Tanner, & Miles,
and also Larry/Paco/Dad/Grandpappy and yours truly. Missing and missed were Mary Jo (who called this afternoon); Elisabeth, Evan, & Hannah (who called this morning and sang "Happy Birthday" to GGpa Charlie); Kathy, Jamie, Oksana, Max & Yana (who are together in Washington, DC); and Mike & Margot (whose toilet woes prevented them from traveling).

I expected everyone else to take pictures so I only managed to take these few today. If anyone else has pics to share, please send.
