Our Special dinner guests, monday evening 1-14-08

We had special guests join us for dinner, Janette & Payton came in for a few days to visit family and get a taste of our type of weather. Wouldn't you know it, it got cold (DUH) it is winter in the Chicago area. Todays temperature will only reach in the upper 20's. Maybe a 30 or a little above it. Anyways, Janette and Payton came to have dinner with my whole family. It was an enjoyable experience, to have an evening to re-connect with family members. Payton has grown up so much since we last saw her in September.

The evening was spent doing a variety of things, eating, teaching the correct way to play pool, combing hairs, and trying to get a pose together.




Maddie and Lily had their hair "done" for the big party this evening by Babcia. Hamming it up for the camera, or is this the way they always look?? Goofy cousins.
Are these 2 Stefans' not seeing eye to eye?





Looking for "Chewy". Here kitty, kitty. Payton enjoyed chasing our cat "Chewy", under the table and up the stairs. Payton manuevered the stairs pretty well considering she has no stairs at her house.

Stefan and his goddaughter Janette and her daughter Payton. (Payton is thinking, what another picture, please let me go...)



Let me try my hand at Ciocia's hair style. Our beauty shop was courtesy of Maddie, Julia and Ela all trying their best to make Janette very pretty, not much is needed in that department, she is doing fine on her own....




Payton getting a feel for this "pool thing".


About that teaching playing pool, well Babcia is not the brightest about these things, look,.. she is trying to tell Payton to shoot at the "8" ball during the game. Pan Maca has the grip and the look all down pat, from lessons from his parents, and is showing Payton how to do "it".







The evening ended way to quickly, but was really appreciated by all. Thank you Janette & Payton for taking the time to visit us again.
