CA Visit - Wednesday

Wednesday we all stayed at home. It was family photo day, which meant that my mom, dad, David, Tati, me, Lane, Gabriela, Matthew, Theresa, Bobby, Andrew, Cynthia, Tim, Kristie, Mina and Baby Caetlin all had to be ready for picture time. Did I mention it was scheduled for nap time? It all worked out perfectly. We took Gabriela for a walk to visit the neighbor's horses and played outside so she was down for an early nap. phew. Poor Kristie arrived from Morgan Hill and in the chaos of getting her whole family ready and bringing over stuff for feeding us all dinner, she forgot her outfit, so she had to go back!
We had some Clower family photos, every one, just the 6 kids, just the girls, just the boys, and our individual family photos. It has been more than TEN years since our last family photo, excluding those taken at weddings, so we're really excited to see how they turned out.

Besitos for Papa

And after all the smiling and chasing around kids and madness that goes with family photos we were all starved. This was the perfect day for PIZZAS. I can't tell you how many pizzas were made. I made a margherita one.
Kristie was the Pizza Queen. She made a meat lovers pizza, a buffalo chicken pizza, gluten-free pizzas for my dad and Cynthia, and bunches more. The crazy part?!?! Kristie can't even eat any because Caetlin doesn't react well to dairy and she's still nursing. Thanks, Kristie!
And as we always do in our family, the kids made their own pizzas. Here's chef Mina.
Andrew making his pizza. Although, he was much more interested in opening a package I had sent for him. It was a game. When he opened it, he was very polite and said, "Thanks,but I already have too many games" Too funny.
Gabriela and her pizza. She had to test the sauce to make sure.
After we feasted on like 11 different pizzas or something absurd like that, we chatted, drank wine, and played outside with the kids. Good times.
