Sunday we traveled to Richmond for a birthday party for Tad’s mom (who has recently started blogging again)! Uncle Nate, Tad’s brother who lives in China, was visiting as well, and we were so glad we got to see him! He was last here three years ago, so he hadn’t met Cordelia or Jude.
The party was at Angela and Jed’s home, and everything was perfectly lovely!
Angela was a wonderful hostess. (I want to steal that apron!)
The food was amazing!
You’ve got to try this gumbo-laya recipe!
The kids’ table was all set up with crayons and a paper tablecloth.
Per usual, Cordelia loved eating everything.
We had yummy cupcakes and raspberry sorbet for dessert.
Jude was a happy boy all day!
Jed recently got a mandolin, so he “serenaded” us all day.
Tad enjoyed catching up with Nate.
There were lots of comments about how Jude has more hair than Uncle Nate!
Vera and Cordelia were delighted by their fun uncle who tried to tickle them!
We are always so blessed when we get a chance to spend time with our dear extended family! We took a group photo, but it was with Dad C.’s camera, so I’ll have to post it when he emails it to me. *ahem*
Edited to add: Here it is!!
