Photos from Burnt Wienie '09, Part II

More snapshots from Saturday's Burnt Wienie gala.: E.W. nominated senior cousin Leah for the B.W. Back in January, Leah came up to Minnesota for her mother's funeral wearing sandals. It was about 30 below zero and snowing mountains. So she ended up wearing Elmer's big boots to the funeral.
Patty Pepin cast husband Steve a tender look as she nominated him for smashing one of Nathan's cars into another of Nathan's cars and ruining her nice new lawn chairs in the process. Good stuff, good stuff.
Intreprid reporter Your Scrapblog Editor took careful notes as Aunt Katie offered a poetic nomination for daughter Jane, who pitched her priceless diamond ring down the bathtub drain.
Anna held on to her walker for support as she submitted a nomination.
Aunt Florence had several nominations to offer, and got nominated herself for forgetting to put the rhubarb in her delicious homemade rhubarb cake.
Cousin Ben Pepin thought Pam's jokes were funny, but he might have been in the minority.
Cousin Moriah Miller nominated her sis Hannah in a delightfully funny pitch that turned out to be the winner.
In a rare solemn moment, we presented cousin Nathan Pepin, our very own U.S. Marine, with a family heirloom -- Uncle Ed Sprick's Combat Infantryman's Medal, earned during his grueling months of fighting across France and Germany in World War II. We think Ed would have wanted Nathan to have it.
