Dinner with the Lahtis

After our successful class reunion I wanted to spend a little more time with my classmate, Rhonda who I haven't seen in over 15 years. It was really great to catch up with her and meet her fabulous husband Richard and their adorable little kids. It was also really great that our daughters were the same age and had a great time with each other!

We went to their house on the outskirts of Omaha which was really beautiful! We had a glass of wine before heading over to this sushi restaurant called Sushi Japan for dinner. The sushi was excellent and the company even better! Here are a few snap shots of the evening.

Gabe's 3rd Birthday Party

Gabe and Angus

On Sunday we headed to Omaha for Gabe's 3rd birthday party. My brother Mark and his wife Missy live in a great neighborhood. They are friends with all of their neighbors and they even share a backyard with their next door neighbor, so they have double the area for their kids to play.

Gemma on the neighbor's trampoline.



The kids loved the trampoline!

Gemma loves cake!



Aiden, Angus and Gemma also love frosting!!

The kids had a ball at the party and Gabe made out like a bandit in the gift department. It has been so great to get all 6 of the Snelling cousins together this trip. I hope we can do this every summer!



This is one incredible lady. This is Missy Grandma and she is such a sweetheart! She was so interested in hearing about China and so up on current affairs. I think I hear my old career calling me again!
