Aunt Phyllis's 80th

Travis has one of those really big (and by big I mean HUGE) extended families and I'm not kidding when I say that there are many cousins and aunts & uncles I haven't even met. Most of them I wouldn't know if I passed them on the street. But there are a few relatives he's remained close to and his Aunt Phyllis is one of them. Anyway she turns 80 on Wednesday so her 3 daughters decided to throw her a birthday party this weekend.

What's funny about that is that it may have been Phyllis's birthday, but Parker was the undisputed star of the day. Some of the relatives were seeing her for the first time and she absolutely stole their hearts.

Jared & Gideon playing. Jared's wife had to work otherwise she would have been there too.

That's Parker giving aunt Sue loves.

And giving Leslie's dog loves.

Doesn't Trav look just thrilled to be there? And it's his family!?!?!?

Susan chatting with Jared. (Susan came in from Southern California for her mom's party. Her sister, Leslie came in from Seattle.)

The birthday girl. What a good sport she was to wear the tiara the whole time.

Trav chats with his uncle Billy.

Leslie takes a seat.

Gran Janke (Clary) was only too thrilled that Parker wanted to give her lots of kisses. Anyway I think it's safe to say we had a good time visiting and we all ate way too much! But the food was great, so thanks Leslie, Susan & Deeann for putting this together!
