Jordan Clan in Bend

The Jordan family got together this weekend at our place in Bend. It was especially special because Patrick's Grandma, Joyce, was also able to come. We ate well, had a great time and celebrated Patrick's birthday.

Waiting with excitement for the Garners to show up...




"We are here!" was Hazel's surprise greeting.




Let the hugs begin!




Holden continues to be darling and easy-going. Look at him sitting up alone so well!

Four generations of Jordans.


The boys ham it up in chairs that are too small for them. (See Holden golfing in the background?)


Some more of the boys.


This weekend we also celebrated Patrick's 36th birthday. Patrick received a very special present from his Grandma when she gave him the family dominos which hold a lot of memories for the whole family. (He also got a very cool bbq thermometer that syncs to his iphone, from his parents, that made him down right giddy and that he used on his first attempt at brisket- a huge success.)


Patrick's birthday dinner.



I captured a departure picture before Liz, John and Joyce headed over the moutain. Thank goodness it was not the final farewell. With a few things left behind, we had the chance to say farewell three more times!

Thank you for a wonderful family visit!
