Visit with the Shaws...Not a duplicate post ; )

Today we had a dinner over at Grandma's and Charlie's house. Josh, Melanie, and Simone Shaw are here on their way to Disneyland. Shelly, look out for them. They'll be there Wed-Fri.

Quite a bit of family made it up. Sumer was there, as was Mom's cousins Todd, Pam, and Paula and her husband Greg and the oldest sibling (I don't remember her name). Aunt Clara was there and so was Robert. There was another lady there who was blond, but I don't remember her name either. So I'm not too good with names, sorry.

We had a lot of fun and had some good food. Uncle Charlie smoked chicken and it had the best seasoning mixed into it. I contributed Southern Banana Pudding made with Nilla Wafers and everyone loved it.

I kept getting comments on how much I look like my mother and I took them as great compliments! It was nice, because then everyone knew how I fit into the family.

Next week we'll do it all over again, except we will exchange the Shaw's with Uncle Ron.

Wow, that sounds like fun! Was the oldes sibling Pam and Paula's oldest sibling? Her name is Paulette. And the blonde might be Nancy or Anna. Just guesses. I'll have to look for Josh. Jon didn't know how long they'd be there. It's kind of fun to see everyone. We're all still wanting to make a trip to AZ. I don't think Grandma has met Matt or Millie yet.

Rereading that, I really rambled. Oh well!

That's way cool!! I bet you loved being able to see so many people. WOW! It must have been a full house. I'm glad you were able to do that. And do it again next week. Wish I could be there too!

I haven't actually seen you in years, Tara, but in the few pics I've seen on your blog I agree . . . you totally look like your mom!
