8/28/15: Upon completion of the kids first week of school, we packed up Friday afternoon and headed up to South Boston to celebrate Augs' 90th birthday! All of Aubrey's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were assembled in one place for the first time since Memo's 80th birthday party, back when he only had one great-grand child! Friday night our family, along with Nay-Nay & Pop-pop, Aunt Betts, and Jay & Kate had dinner at Memo & Augs' house and celebrated on Aubrey's actual birthday!
How long does it take to get ready to sing?
Happy birthday, dear Augs!
Saturday the 29th of August was Aubrey's party and when all the other factions of the family descended upon the town of SoBoVA. Meghan enjoyed some time in Ruger's crate.
Brec and Jay taunted Liz with this picture of them gobbling up the chips and dip to spur on her arrival.
We headed over the Halifax Country Club to swim in the afternoon. It was Jack's first time off the diving board!
Look at Clara soar!
When we got back to Memo's house, more family had arrived including our newest member, Yvie!
All of her cousins were super excited to meet her and shower her with love and attention.
I was excited to hold a baby that I got to give back when it got fussy!
That night the party for Aubrey was held at the Sportsman's Club overlooking the Bannister river.
There are many candid shots of everyone in their party finest. Clara and Meghan were very attentive to Yvie. They also enjoyed copious sodas at the open bar.

After party at Memo's house! Recreating a scene from the past, Aubrey's lap seems to have gotten a tad smaller... or something.

Then she's excited to join Uncle Jack with Yvie!

Such a nice weekend spent with family and friends. Happy 90th Birthday, Aubrey!
