The ENTIRE Gardner family sure knows how to party! We had such a fun week leading up to Dani's wedding! We had Abe's sister Bobi and her family stay with us Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Noelle and Chloe had so much fun with Bobi's girls (Sydney, Gracie, and Cora). We went to the beach almost every day, because Abe's sister Alice and her family (Dale, Jadie, Ramon, Markie, Ramiro, and Gabe) and Dedee and her kids (Rebecca, Emily, Brian and Ben) were all in town. We got pizza one night and we went to dinner minus the kids one night. There was so much going on everyday and we had so many people staying here, that there was a lot to keep track of! Thursday was the family reunion and we spent the day at the beach, all 40 of us, and Abe gave surfing lessons while we all worked on keeping the kids in one spot! Then we came up to our house, for a BBQ!!! We had sooooooo much fun! It was Abe's dads 75th birthday (Aaron and Karen also share the same birthday) So we shared memories of him and all sang the famous HOKEY POKEY song (sorry to our neighbors, but it was awsome) That night Janelle came to stay with us and her boys (Wyatt and Gherett) and Alaines son Josh came as well. Bobi stayed with us that night and it was definately a full house. Noelle would wake up and be soo excited that all her friends were at her house, some of them even on her floor!! Saturday was Dani's Wedding!!! and on Sunday Janelle and her boys and Josh came to church with us. Janelle cooked us a fabulous dinner ( I was so greatful for a break) and then we played Settlers. More to follow on the wedding and Tyler coming home from Jerusalem!!
