Heavy Hangs Hiding — Taran

Picture taking is NOT Taran’s favorite past time. 

But he’s really good at giving out wishes. 

And hiding from the camera. 

Really good. 

Super dedicated. 

It’s his thing. 

And when he can’t take the attention anymore. 

He’s out. 

But he came back because cake. 

He won’t have to do it again for another year.

Blurry Hangs — Emma

The time stamp for these pictures start at 10:06pm. 

I’m sure it was a long day and we were struggling to get Heavy Hangs in after a day of activities and dinner. 

This is all being said to justify the blurriness of these photos. 

The tired looks on our faces. 

And to prove that even when tired…

…we have our silly charms…

…our important traditions…

…and love for our marvelous Emma. 

No matter the time of day, we’ll make a place to celebrate the one who makes all our birthdays special because she loves us. 

Happy birthday Ms. Daisie!

Heavy Hanging — Lisa

The pictures below were taken June 21, 2020. 

I first mistook them for a Heavy Hangs photo for my birthday. It’s not but this is my view of the process from the birthday seat. 

At first I was bummed when I realized that I didn’t have photos from my birthday. 

But then I figured that having my family laughing and hanging together for no reason…

…is the best gift I could ever get. 

And a cake from Emma on my birthday is 2nd best!

 

Heavy Hangs — Cake Wreck — Enoch

Enoch @ 16!

—Enoch’s Memories—

That cake looks amazing. Unfortunately this was during covid, and I remember nothing about that entire year.

Heavy Hangs - Mystery Shack Style - Calvin

 Calvin turned 14! A big fan of the Gravity Falls series, Emma made him a cake & a cake shack. 

The white cake was chocolate.

The Mystery Shack was made of rice crispie squares.

—Calvin’s Memories—

I don’t recall almost anything from this time, aside from getting that pillow (which I still use!) and having that sweatshirt that I used to wear all the time. Looking back on it, I do now remember getting that cake, but I don’t remember asking for it.
