I don't even know what to call this

A few Saturday nights ago, Jill and I got in on a birthday party in Jipijapa.  There are really no words that are adequate to describe the evening.  The closest I could probably come is "chaos."  Perhaps the following abundance of pictures will give a tiny idea of what we enjoyed with the family of V & S as we celebrated S's 77th birthday.  

Blur = motion

G'ma S is sucking on the chupete that great-granddaughter, ME had grown tired of.  I'm not sure how many mouths that lollipop was in before it got whittled away to nothing but stick.  Sharing is good, right?! 

ME and her baby

The cat comes slinking in to join the festivities.

And the cake comes out of the box.

And now for a plethora of family photos:

Sra. S and five daughters (plus a few others)

Couch / jungle gym

This family pic had to wait until Mommy went home and got a fancy dress for ME to put on.  She refused to be photographed without it.

ME gets the first bite.

Yummy!

Now, I think we'll head home and try to get ready for our meetings tomorrow.
