Family Fashion Show

Three weeks ago my mom, brother and aunt left for vacation in the Philippines, and some in our family did a somewhat last-minute get-together at my Aunt Jennie's to send them off on a safe trip. Today they returned with lots of luggage, and a van and SUV trip to the airport was followed by another somewhat last-minute get-together at my Aunt Jennie's to welcome them home. We've come full circle.

My brother shared pictures, they shared stories, and my aunt shared goodies.

I copied my Aunt Jennie by putting these rings on my fingers (just had a flashback to my grunge days). I think these look like sea urchins.

My Aunt Landa. I was her stylist.

My aunt Jennie couldn't decide which she wanted. I think they never left her arm.

Taryn already had the flower in her hair. When I saw these sandals, I thought they were keychains. Taryn saw that they were hairclips and effortlessly put one in her hair.

Our family's version of the Kardashian sisters: Jac (Khloé because she has lighter hair), Kat (Kim because she wanted to be Kim), and Terie (Kourtney because she's the oldest sister). This spoof was a result of my cousin Jac being asked if this was like the Kardashian sisters while she and Kat were at a grocery store.
