Re: Here we go again...
What a whirlwind of a weekend!
My parents arrived on Thursday, my brother/SIL/nephew plus cousin/boyfriend arrived Friday, BFF and college roomie arrived on Saturday.
We cleaned up Saturday morning and my dad fixed the falling apart front porch. Andrew (my next-door neighbor) and the band members set up on the porch. The Margarita machine arrived on time and the caterers delivered fifteen minutes out from the start.
Lots of people came. In fact, some people that I'd never met came. In fact at one point I was talking to people that I thought were friends of Rick's from work and he thought they were friends of mine from the 'hood. Turns out they were friends of friends. hilarious.
We had the moon bounce and bubbles for the kids and they all had a GREAT time.
We went through 150 servings of frozen margarita and a lot of juices/water/tea/beer. It was a good time.
Everyone ended up leaving by 10ish and we watched the baseball game.
Sunday was a relaxation day- we ate leftovers poolside and generally just enjoyed the beautiful weather. My parents got to have both of 'their boys' for nearly three days so it was all good for them. and Nikolai and his cousin Jack were inseparable as usual.
I throw one hell of a good party.

PS- my cousin took the trolley bus from the hotel to my house and she said that once she got off the bus they could hear the band!
