Thursday Ben's parents came to VA - Jennie and children came Friday - Emilee and Ben took us all out to dinner - this is Em's favorite Papusia's (sp) - El Salvadorian food - yummy and cheap - you knew that if Em loved it right? So much fun to be with family for wonderful events!

The adults had several tables - fun to be together.
