A few kids found a space in the hallway to chow down.
Potluck. As in, test your luck with the hodge podge of dishes people bring.
I tried to keep the kids in the back rooms where all the toys were, but it just wasn't happening.
Alethea and her hilarious stories. I already miss her.
I love when Bruce laughs at his own jokes.
This family was worth the craziness. Good people warm my heart.
Oh, yes. Love this little family, too.
Love and friendship. Who could ask for anything more? Wait... there's a song about this... ah. Too tired to look for it. Maybe tomorrow.
"The sun has gone to bed
And so must I.
So long, farewell,
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye..."

despite all the chaos from gatherings it's always so much fun!
your family is so beautiful!
Sounds like it was definitely a crazy weekend (I got tired just reading your post!), but worth it!
makes me miss your place. AND that last shot of the fam. haven't seen a full shot like that in a while. everyone doing their own facial expression thing. so funny. that's why annual family portraits are so important--they're so telling, no?
and you're crazy. can't believe you said yes to this open house. what did mom tell us about being yes-people??!! : ) jk. i probably would have caved too and found myself either volunteering or accepting to have something like that at my place. the papa in us, for sure.
How about the mama in you, for sure! Potluck is the way to go, even with just a few families. It's not so inimidating. Love my beautiful kids.
p.s. belén and i LOVE this song. it's got a perfect morning-cleanu-song beat : )
You guys have such a great family. Your kids are getting so big. Are they coming with you in July or are you coming by yourself?
