Lots of food (esp. desserts) and lots of fun was had at Laredo & Andrea’s house at Afton. The weather wasn’t very nice but it was cozy inside by the woodstove.
We had an Italian theme this year. Lazagne and gnocci with sausage, homemade pizza, yummy sour dough rolls, ham and salad. Plus 8 pies and two cobblers! So no one went home hungry.

Sweet Magnus turned two on April 17th. Laredo and Andrea hosted a get-together at their newly completed home in Afton to celebrate the occasion. Andrea’s family came from Midland to join all the rest of us from Motley and Dickens county for lots of good food and fun. Andrea made an Argentinian specialty called “Cannelones” which was delicious and followed this wood board appetizer dish called “Picadillas”.
Laredo had just finished making this amazing table. Perfect for homeschooling and large group meals.
Everyone wanted their turn holding the newest babies, Daniella and Mia.
Later, we helped Magnus eat his apple spice birthday cake.
Later, I loaned my cell phone camera to Bella who managed to get some interesting pictures of the party from a different perspective.
