Retirement Party Mood

Sunday, July 20, 2008

The retirement party was a huge success. The place was set up perfectly, everyone liked the food and cake, we had about 80 people show up and Mom and Dad had a great time. Everyone said how nice the party was, and it came in under budget!!

I'm thoroughly enjoying hanging out with the nieces. They are talking all the time, playing pretend, walking in our shoes, just being silly. It is so cute. Judd's got the video camera out right now. It'll be fun to watch when we get back home.

Today is the professional family picture. Mom is making us lay out all our shirts to make sure they will look ok.

Sounds wonderful MP. I am sure you are having a wonderful time with the family. Your nieces sound like they would be really fun to play with. Kids crack me up. I often say to Drew it would be really hard to have kids because I would laugh at them all the time.

The retirement party sounds like a success....sounds like you have a great family! That is really nice!

Did the shirts all look ok together? ;-)

Yes, I think the shirts worked, but mom was making a pretty big deal about it. She had them all layed out on the bed. Kate brought bright colors for the kids and that was ruining everything. That's mom. I even got Judd to take a picture with just the two of us. I was in my "uniform," not an outfit I would ever pick out, but I did have makeup on which my sister recommended and we haven't been professionally photographed since our wedding, so I thought it would be nice. Kate and I never wear makeup, but then we look splochy in pictures so she has a supply of stuff for pictures. She shared and I have to admit, it does make a subtle, but noticeable difference.
