Anniversary Party in Illinois

Here are some snapshots of our trip to Illinois for Jeff's parents anniversary party. We met at a restaurant for supper and then back to his parents house for chatting and cake. It was a nice evening. All of his 5 siblings were there.

Top row: Jeff and his brother Edwin discuss their "play" for the backyard football game. Jeff is "drawing" the play out on his shirt. The game didn't last too long as Edwin and his other brother Jimmy hit heads and both split their heads open, like almost taking them to get stitches! Edwin woke up the next morning with his eye all black and blue and almost swollen shut. These men need to realize that they are in their 40's (except Jeff) and stop being so competitive. Mikayla with her cousin Ryleigh. Ryleigh is Wayne's daughter (Jeff's brother). His parents with their cake.

2nd row: Wayne and Ryleigh. She is THE cutest and sweetest baby around!
Jeff, Edwin, Brawson (Wayne's step son), Wayne and Ryleigh shoot the breeze. Haley and Mikayla and their Aunt Teresa (Jeff's sister).


3rd row: Haley and Edwin swing and shoot the breeze. Haley wanted to sleep in the crib at her grandparents, she slept "like a baby" all night long.
Ryleigh gives Daisy a hug. Daisy didn't have a moments peace the whole time we were there.

(Not pictured but present are his sister Katie and husband Ken, Teresa's husband Darryl, his brother Jimmy, Wayne's wife Shelby, who had to work after the dinner, and myself. Lots of cousins were missing as they are all spread out now, one in in Pennsylvania and one is in England!)
