Carrie's birthday

Carrie's birthday gave us a good excuse to gather at Denise's house on Saturday night for dinner and a rousing game of "Time's Up." (Since it was her birthday, we let her win....)

Carrie with her hubby, Joe, and Jaime and Carter in the background. They will marry next fall.

Mike McMillin at the buffet line. We had Denise's amazing carnitas again. They are so good we just can't get enough.

Little Miss Lexi kept us all amused, as usual (see below.)



Nancy Blanchett and Deanna Harms enjoying cocktails.


Denise, downing her white sangria, and Jim Blanchett and Mike.


Jim and Nancy Blanchett, Deanna Harms and her partner David Kamerer.


And now, a few photos of Dale and Lexi amusing each other. They are so darn cute together.


Who's happier here??


Dale knows how to show a girl a good time.
