The advent of Strider's graduation brought all kinds of excitement -- and relatives from around the country!
After all kinds of baking (8 cakes in one week!) and cooking and cleaning and prepping, it was a joy to see folks arrive from PA, MN, ME, OH, VA, and DC. We loved having all the Franks here for brunch on Saturday and lunch on Sunday, and the whole Frank clan AND the whole Wray clan (37 in total) here for dinner Saturday night!
Dave Garrett graciously agreed to make barbecue for dinner on Saturday, so we were able to give everyone a little taste of the South (and it made life so much easier for me!).
Because we had dinner at 5:30 and Strider's party starting at 7, I'm afraid I became a bit of tornado at around 6:30 running around and telling everyone to finish their dinners so we could roll out all the party stuff! But somehow it all got done -- thanks to the team of sisters-in-law, sisters, and moms all helping in the kitchen. Whew!
