Goodby dinner for Grandpa

So Grandpa and Charolotte have started their 3 day jaunt back home to Arizona... and they're pretty sure that this will be their last trip up here. So what do Ellis' do best? We have a party with lots of food. (That's what Grandma said before she died... I don't want you to mourn for me... just have a potluck and jump on the trampoline.) Here are some pictures for those that weren't able to be there.

It was really cute... after this picture was taken I asked Ada if she loved Grandpa and she reached up and held his cheek in her hand and said, "Yes!"

Clara was so danged cute! Sorry for the multiple pictures of her....



The kids were having a "Talent Night" taking turns playing on the piano and dancing together.



My Sammy and me.  I really don't like pictures that show my double chin, but oh well.

Ada took turns tying up Jer and I with a 10 foot long jump rope.  She thought it was hilarious... and Jer made it fun for her... he jumped around and exaggerated that he was 'trapped'.

Grandpa visiting with Sharon, Uncle Frank and Aunt Margaret (Grandma's brother).

Sammy decided that Great-Great Uncle Frank's dessert was better tasting than mine.











Sharon is so cute with Sammy!  They're little buddies!


And I'm glad that Jer took the time to talk to Grandpa a little.  It made me so happy!

Melissia and Tyrone especially always make me laugh... it's funny because they're almost 10 years younger than me and they're some of the cousins that I keep up with.

We love your happy faces!
