F(r)amily: a group of friends so close they are practically family; typically found in a military community or a small town.
Every year we do 3 holidays with the framily: Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Easter. This year, we met for Easter dinner at the Pfau's. It was different this year-for the better-because instead of crying over baby dolls, the babies we old enough to easter egg hunt & break cascarones! We also had my aunt & her significant other, Esther & Culley, come in from Texas to eat Aunt Betty Lou's Rolls and take in the North Carolina pine pollen. Here are a few shots from dinner this year--enjoy!
Yay for juice cups!
And tummy tickles!
Sometimes I wonder how my mom lives with his crazy eyebrows, but they make us all laugh, so that must be how.

Eggs, eggs EVERYWHERE!
After dinner led to some crazy cascarones (a Mexican tradition known here as confetti eggs) & toddler wrestling!
Anabelle has nothing but hugs & kisses after wrestling her momma!















HOLY COW! You know you're old when you lovely little sister (still weird to say that!) is graduating high school & becoming a Tar Heel! I definitely cannot be more proud of her accomplishments. She is a strong, confident, & beautiful young lady who has the whole world in her fingertips right now. She is a talented dancer, a brainiac, and an aunt to the most spoiled dog in the world. Congrats for just being awesome, Tess!
