We got here on Thursday. After we got set up and cleaned up we took off to do an errand for Craig (the oldest nephew). He needed nine frames for a project he was surpising Claire with! They had seen this done at an Ethan Allen Store. Claire had a map of Paris that she loved. Craig had it blown up by a company who does this kind of duplication for his law firm for trials. They did a wonderful job with perfect detail. They then cut it in 9 pieces of 11 x 14 inches each. We got black frames for him and he put the pictures in and arranged it on the wall. Claire was sooo surprised when she got home and loved it! It looks great.
Yesterday we met Craig for lunch at Max's. We had not been there before. It is a bistro and was a bit expensive. We did have a yummy lunch with Craig and then he took off to get things ready at the house for the birthday party for Chip (the middle nephew). We took off to get a gift for him and run a few errands.
Chip turned 26 yesterday, really hard to believe! Craig and Claire hosted an open house. Their house is really great for entertaining. The older folks, us and Claire's parents had the comfy living room while most of the younger folks were in the dining area and kitchen. Westin had the run of the house and was a pretty good boy. He is seven months old, is pretty well behaved and adorable (oh by the way, he's the dog)! We left around 9:30 as the party was really just getting started with the younger crowd!
One of the couples brought him a "beer tree"! The cans were full of beer and it was a really cute idea!
