2007 Patel Family Reunion


I'm not sure how long we have had these family reunions. This year was great. The whole Zaver Family made the trip up to San Francisco including, Dilipkaka, kaki, Kalpesh and our new bhabi, Reshma. Jagufoi & Family and Deepakbhai and Mama also made it. As people were arriving on Thanksgiving afternoon we had everyone over to our place for coffee, tea & dessert. We were off to Bharatbhai's for the official reunion for lunch where Deenabhabi had a wonderful spread out for everyone. No crazy things to report, just fun and laughter.

Sydney & Andon's Scary 2nd Birthday

It's not the terrible two's, its the scary two's. And we celebrated the scariest two of them all. We started at 5pm Halloween Night with all the kids dressed up hanging out in Sydney's very own haunted house. By 6pm we were all decorating our Halloween pails to fill up with candy and by 6:30 we finished our sugar-filled cupcakes and we were out the door to frighten the neighborhood.

This party was definitely memorable not only because all were trolling for candy door-to-door, but this was the last week we would be seeing Andon before he left for home in Sweden. What a great American send-off we had.

Kyler led the group determined to get to every door on the street in record time, Andon kept going to every house looking for a dog, Isabella was just following Andon, Brynn and Dad collecting the candy and Sydney took her sweet time. It was a good night, can't wait until next year.
