The Iverson's - Bon Voyage!

On Friday, my Aunt Vena, Uncle Till, Benjamin and Philipp, who live in Hamburg, Germany, had their "bon voyage" dinner at a nice restaurant in Benecia called Captain Blythers. (I think that is what it's called?!) After this dinner, they were on a plane to Aspen, Colorado to enjoy skiing and snow. Here is my family that night:

Auntie Vena and I (notice I'm holding WATER, not wine.)

My mom and her youngest sister...

"A Toast! To good health, and a happy family!"

Pretty candlelight....

It sure was cold that night! But grandma seemed warm in her jacket as well as having her many daughters by her side.

On our way back to Grandma's house, all of our cousins had created a "magic show" for us. Mind you, they have performed this magic show TWICE before, and this being their THIRD time, had made it much more intricate...now with a tip jar, and souvenir oragami stars and paper boxes! Each sold at $1-$2 dollars! They wiped us all clean!

Gabriel and I (he's so sleepy here)

The "bigger" boy cousins...Matthew and John

Enjoy one of my favorite parts of the magic show! (It took them a year to get this down!) Aunty Vena's kids sure are talented!
