One week ago, Maddie decided that it had been way too long since she had had her friends over. Her parents jumped on the party bus, and went and invited all of theirs for a tapas party as well. After all, small things, like many, bite-sized foods, are really the best way to enjoy a meal.
It was difficult to wait for all of the food to arrive.
Luckily, everyone soon arrived, and the older and younger set began to socialize. A bit of a different look from past tapas parties (there weren't quite as many small, plastic things accompanied by small, fast people).
Emma was most amazed by the dessert tapas.
ELF enjoyed her schnoolie on mom, Aarin's lap.
Lilly and her little sister (on the inside), enjoyed cupcakes and seeing "Princess" aka mom, Marissa, all dressed up.
Edith, on the inside of Shanna, enjoyed whatever mom was having as well as pokes from dad, Tim.
Maddie took her hostess role very seriously, and attempted to run after her guests, who enjoyed running up and down the hall, at regular intervals.
Meanwhile, the adult set, Aarin and Erin, were enjoying cheesy tapas, and Alex waiting on them hand and foot - or in this case, hand.
Sangria and conversation - Steve discussing with Jess, his goal to get the Steelers to the Super Bowl by impregnating his wife.
See above - with the exception that neither John, Arthur, nor Liza Mae were discussing impregnating Steve's wife.
Mind you, there were all sorts of other tapas which were enjoyed by Suzanne, Greg and the rest of us; shrimp po'boys, marshmallow and cheese rounds, wieners wrapped in homemade dough, meatballs, muffins, dips, the list goes on and on, not to mention the desserts; pound cake, fudge, cupcakes, cookies...
The paparazzi may have gotten to some, although Auntie Jamie has realized this is just the way life is these days. Jess is more used to it at brunch time at Paty's.
But luckily, many remained unfazed - Val, Arthur and Tak even seem to accept that all conversation would be documented.
By the end of the evening, there was many a tired and full stomach, as demonstrated by Alison and Brian on the couch.
But there were still cupcakes for Jess' birthday to be had.
And some news to be shared. Anyone notice something posted on the door in the first picture? It looked like a small thing, but really it is a pretty big thing.
It's a picture of the next little Kender-Page, due to make their debut on July 25th! We are so happy and excited to meet you, little one!
