More Adoption Pictures

We've been celebrating. On Saturday, October 1, we had a party at the Warr Acres Incredible Pizza Company. It opened last May or June and this was our first time to go there, although it's only about 1/2 mile from us. The first bunch of pictures is from that party. I'm going to do some experimenting with the posts, so bear with me!

The first picture is the one the celebration was all about--Tamara Nichole Bolerjack! Next is her "best friend", her cousin, Alanna. Next to Alanna is the other newest member of the family (it's really hard to think of Tamara as a new member of the family since she's been with us over a year!), Cole. Below that is Tamara and Alanna, having a great time and they were just getting started!

Hmmm... do we not have an option to add captions to pictures? Well, we'll have to figure that out later, I guess. Meanwhile, here are some more from the party.

Here we have Mark's sisters and his parents. The baby is sister, Jan's, newest grandbaby. That's Jan holding him. The lady in the green is Mark's Aunt Naomi.

Grandma Mary and Uncle Dan (my mom and my brother)

Tamara's "best friends", Aric and Jarrod. (Can you tell she has lots of "best friends"? Her other "best friend", cousin Kaitlyn, seems to have missed getting her picture taken!)

Jan, her daughter, Dr. Stephanie Taylor, and Steph's new son, Cole. Unfortunately, we missed getting older brother, Drew. And he's sooooo cute!

Aric and Jarrod with their mom, Carol, a good friend for many years. We claim them as family.

The kids had a blast with the variety of games available. We paid for them each to do one thing and Papa and Grandma Bolerjack paid for a second one. Some of the things they could do were bumper cars, bowling (regular and mini-bowl), go-karts, and miniature golf. There were arcade style games and things like that, too.

OK... Now we're gonna see how many pics I can put in one post! No captions this time. I think you can figure out what's going on.

And, now I know how many files can be uploaded into one post... five!

The miniature golf pictures were the best.
