A few years ago we started having my Aunt Tonja and her girls Claire and Carli (Claire and Carli adore little kids and can't get enough of them) up for a night while Darren was on his annual fishing trip. We decided to open our house to my other aunts too. So, a small gathering turned into an all out PARTY!
Here Henry is being silly peeking through the exersaucer that was brought up for Charlie. He got quite the chuckle from all of us...
...and as soon as Henry exited, Cara thought she better give it a try. Those two couldn't be any more monkey see, monkey do!
Henry knee deep in chex mix while his mom was on the couch feeding Charlie. Apparently the Swanks like chex mix...Tonja, Tammy, and I all made it for the weekend. Great minds think alike!
Let the snacking (and bloody mary, margarita, and beer drinking) begin!
While we all spent some time in the kitchen talking about who died and who graduated with who (with 10 kids in one family a death can always be linked to someone who has graduated with a brother or a sister) and this is always a topic of conversation when the Swanks get together, Claire and Carli kept the little kids busy. They are FABULOUS I sure wish they lived just a bit closer!
More chatting and beverage drinking.
Beauty shop!
Interesting picture you may say. Dylan texted a picture of him and Nolan "camping" in their basement so we thought we better send him one of us camping. SUPER funny at the time. It may be one of those 'you had to be there to find the humor in it' situations!
Then the little girls thought they better take one too. No, their beers are not open!Thanks, Swank girls, for making the trip to Farmington. I can't wait until February 2013!
