Family Gathering

Yesterday Dave and I went to Kristi and Paul's house in Omaha to celebrate Angie's birthday (Sept 15), Paul's birthday (Sept 25) and Kristi and Paul's 17th wedding anniversary (Sept 26).


Kristi, Paul and Angie

Dave grilled one of his famous beef roasts, I brought my traditional broccoli casserole (Dave is allowed to eat green veggies twice weekly now), Kristi prepared her potato casserole and a German chocolate cake, and Angie brought some fancy root beer.  The root beer was for Angie, Zach and Tyler.  Dave and Paul drank a different kind of beer. Meanwhile, Kristi and I made a nice dent in a bottle of Wollersheim Prairie Fumé (from our favorite winery in Wisconsin). Ellie drank from her water bowl. 

Dave & I and Angie gave Paul gift cards to Cabela's to help him buy a new topper for his boat.  With this new topper he will be able to fish even when it is raining. (Last year when we were all at Branson together, Dave and Paul got absolutely drenched one day when they were out on Table Rock Lake fishing and it started pouring rain. They had to come in early.  We can't let that happen again.)  Kristi and Paul gave Angie some homemade tomato sauce and salsa.  Their garden produced a ton of tomatoes this summer.  I told Kristi to save some of her salsa for Christmas gifts.   (hint, hint)

We had a very lovely evening together, and all September family milestones were duly celebrated.
