Heather put on a beautiful family dinner tonight. It had been bothering me a bit how we haven't done very much with family the last few weeks and boy, did we ever make up for it. Our little house doesn't feel that small, at least it doesn't until you pack it full of uncles and aunts and little cousins! I knew it was going to be a fun evening when, first thing, Jewel walks in with a note stuck to her back that says: "KENDALL ROCKS". We really missed the Payne's, but to make up for their absence, we watched baby Chaim's video again. He is a super cute little guy, but his bum was in a lot of the pictures - not sure how he's gonna feel about that when he's older. Here is an exclusive photo of the event:
If you look closely, you can see Kendall pointing out that Jewel left their camera's memory stick at home. Don't worry KJAMB, the CHEMT blog's got it covered.
It was awesome to see the eight little cousins all playing together, and think back to the four of us at their age, living together in Claresholm. Even though that was almost a lifetime away, here we were, just as close as we were then, watching our children form memories that they will one day look back on too. It is sobering to consider how fast the time has gone by. In an effort to make the most of that time, the bros-in-law challenged each other to a game of Super Monkey Ball 2 (ya, that's really the name).
It is sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow morning. Oh well, if Ella's going to kindergarten, I should go to work - fair's fair. At least we finished off on a fun note.
Stop picking at the cake!
