What a weekend!

 Phew!

My brother and his partner and my mom and her boyfriend all came to town to celebrate Jon's 39th bday and my mom's milestone 70th We mostly stayed up too late eating carrot cake and playing board games, and it was so much fun. I am bloated and exhausted today, though.

Thanks to Blogger AS ALWAYS for photos that upload RANDOMLY.

Chaos

Look how fast she’s running

Bonus: Everyone got to see Jack perform in Macbeth, the high school fall play

Best cake ever. Thankfully there were 2.

Minnie was so excited to see snow, she volunteered to wear a coat. WHAT!

Caleb worked hard on his placemat

Pensive Minnie

Going to see then play!

Beatrix forgot how old she is

Playing catch like princesses do

Macbeth!

A raucous game during dinner

LOL

My mom’s boyfriend brought everyone insulated cups, and jack whipped out the label maker.

A very intense game of Ticket to Ride

Fancy

SO FANCY

Timer hijinks

We learned how to play Wingspan after cocktails, and Ben ate his bird food

LOL, again.

I heart friend Mac and cheese, and it hearts me back, apparently.

Minnie kept up the dinner chit chat

Cheeeeese

Every day we’re puzzling

More chaos

Shhhhhhh, she’s hiding.

Cake prep— lots of candles

Make a wish!
