Impromptu Alger Gathering

Kris and Aric were in town for a few days.  Max went through the temple in preparation for his mission to New York.  We are so excited for him.  While they were here we decided to have any Algers that were available over for a visit.  I wasn't sure if any one was going to make it so I invited Jessi and her girls over too.  (Todd had meetings.)  We ended up have a good size group with Mike and his kids, Chad and Melissa with Gracie,  James and Laura with Leah, Grandpa Alger, Aric and Kris and their boys and Gavin and Cadie.  

 So cute, Daddy Aric and Daughter Cadie. 

I turned Tim loose with the camera to document the gathering.  He got some really interesting shots.  Chad hid from the camera all night.  He was playing some silly game.

He almost got a good picture of Mike, Rich and James if we could meld these two shots.  

 Gav and Gwen

 Grandpa, he's such a cutie!

Poor Max, mid blink, but Leah looks gorgeous and Gracie is adorable.

It was a great evening.  It still makes me giggle that my little brother is  part of the Alger clan now.  It is fun to see him at all the family events.  We loved having Kris and Aric over.  We miss them since they moved to Idaho.  They leave a big hole in the family.  And we are so proud of Max.  We have the best nieces and nephews.  They are all growing into amazing people.
