Over the Hill

We drove to Austin this weekend for a celebration of a life. An OLD life.  That's right - Chris Andre is officially 40.

 

Friday night we had yummy Mexican food on the back patio and Peggy came up from San Marcos to eat with us. She brought Silly String for the boys. Baca knows how to make 4 boys very happy!

 

 

How precious is Luke?!

 

I didn't take my camera out much at all... thank goodness Katy's friend, Natalie, had hers on hand at the PAR-TAY on Saturday night. 

 

The Hostess with the Mostest and me.  Everyone wore black in honor of Chris' passing over the hill.

 

 

Deirdre, Katy, The Man of the Hour, me, and Natalie

 

Mike and Mushy (Jason Scanlan)

 

Chris and me. I have no recollection of what we were laughing at... probably Mike ;)

 

 

Love these ladies: Kristi, me, Katy's mom - Trish, Katy, Natalie, and Nisha

 

The Man Who Didn't Read (i.e. Follow) the Memo on Wearing Black and me:

 

Happy, happy birthday to one of our very best friends: a great friend, a great man, a great husband, a great father, a great cook, and the best margarita maker ever!

 

(Thanks also to the Andres for keeping both boys for us on Saturday so we could go down to SM to visit John in the nursing home - amazing friends, who even had both Tate and Luke down for naps when we got back!)
