Today we went over to Grandpa and Mary's house for a quick breakfast. Kate enjoyed coloring, Grace enjoyed the Lincoln Logs, and Suki loved sulking best of all.
Then we were off to see two of my friends from high school, Kristina and Joanna. Also their children -- Max and Parker, David and Allie.
David, Allie and Grace play with the farm.
It was quite the melee.
We got some good drawing time in.
There was something very sweet about seeing old friends enjoying your children.
Kate and David get in some tv time.
Our ridiculous efforts at a group photo -- it wasn't easy, and this was the best of the lot!
Lunch over at Pat's house -- I spent lots of time here back in high school and again, it was so nice seeing my girls in that same spot.
Grace and Suki lead a puppy into the living room.
These three dogs were so great with children -- everyone loved them.
Everyone loves a good game of Hullaballoo!
We took driving naps and then went over to Calynn's house for a big cousin get together. Here, Amy and Zithembe play catch with Kate while Sibonelo and Thabi enjoy their own game.
Lucas looks down on Suki and Lorelei.
Rather than try to pile everyone up for a posed photo, we got all of the children at one end of the room and started snapping away. From left to right-ish: Thabi, Zithembe, Calynn, Grace, Lucas, Lorelei, Clara, Nelo, Suki, Giana, Elena and Kate.
Another shot. Thabi, Grace, Calynn, Zithembe, Suki, Nelo, Clara, Gianna, Lorelei, Kate, Elena, Lucas.
All of the children in attendance who come from my brother and sisters: Lucas, Calynn, Elena, Kate, Lorelei, Clara, Grace, Lorelei and Suki. Aunt Tina made these outfits for her cousin gifts -- we loved them!
Lorelei, Thabi, Sibonelo, Zithembe and Kate eat their pizza.
Calynn, Zithembe, Gianna, Thabi, Nelo, Kate and Elena enjoy their cupcakes.
Suki, Grace, Clara and Kate.
A little talk between Grace and Aunt Melissa.
Tiny Gigi managed to oust Kate from this piano, I have no idea how she managed it but it does illustrate Gigi's tenacity.
Suki and Thabi make music in the tent.
Grace and Thabi.
Little cousins, sitting pretty.
Gianna, Nelo and Thabi make music while Dawn and Kate cuddle.
Marching!
Grace and Nelo loved marching in circles making their music.
A little post dinner snacking for Lucas, Elena and Suki.
These magnifying glasses were such a hit!
We took a minute after we left to take some photos of all three girls in their dresses to show support for Aunt Tina's vision of all the children out and about in their strawberry outfits. Shipping delays prevented her vision from being achieved but hopefully she enjoys this partial shoot.
