Alex, Brian and Stephanie are hard at work in the kitchen, but take a time out for a photo. Ann and David are having a great time feasting on pancakes and sausage, with all the fixin's! Banning and Caitlin are getting ready to go to work. Bill and Arlena enjoy the supper and the fellowship. Caitlin poses for a portrait shot. Donna, Chuck and Vicki share good food and good conversation. Tori was so patient waiting for me to take a picture of her, Dad Dustin and Mom Katherine. Dylan and Melissa share some great fellowship time with Teresa. Gina is hard at work, but having a wonderful time! Hailey poses for her portrait. What a smile! Grant's energy is going to be put to work: see below. Harold is always working and always smiling. What a combination! He cleans the tables and sets up for the next seating. Look at him go! Jenny is busy all night but always has time for a smile and a bit of conversation. Jim helps take money at the door, greeting everyone with his winning smile! Jim and Ian hadn't met before tonight. Something about table fellowship that starts friendships. Joe and Mike are having way too much fun, if there is such a thing! Josh is happy watching two of his three toddlers. (He is my niece's husband, and a great guy! Jenn would have been here, but she had to work late tonight.) Joyce not only takes money, she gives hugs. See how Jim loves a Joyce hug! Karl worked hard gathering up dishes and place settings. I didn't see him take a break at all! Kate and Trish came with Mardi Gras beads, and gave them all away before night's end. Lars thinks this is a great night! Leslee, Kate, Dick and Julie enjoy time together. What is Dick thinking, though? Lilly is busy serving pancakes in her Mardi Gras hat! Lisa, Noah and Ian are all dancin'! What is Ian up to, do you suppose? I told Manny he looked particularly cute tonight and he let me take his picture. What a guy! Barb and her mother, Marian, have started a tradition by coming to Shrove Tuesday together. Mark, Hailey, Grant, Diane, Caitlin, Gramma and Grampa. Sorry, I didn't get first names from Diane's parents. Nelda and Verne with two guests. I forgot to get their names, too. What was I thinking? Paula and JoAnn are having a great time sharing Shrove Tuesday. This is the third year that Raelynn, 4, and Hunter, 3, have been at Shrove Tuesday. They are my great-niece and great-nephew. My other great-niece, Halie, 3, has an ear infection and stayed home. The kids love to check out the picture in the camera after it is taken. Here is Raelynn, Josh and Hunter together. Robert was working hard in the kitchen and on the floor, but had time for a portrait. Rosaline, Mary and Grace are happy to be sharing Shrove Tuesday supper. Susie and Matt are hard at work in the kitchen prepping pancakes. Teresa and Greg take a minute out to eat supper together. Wilmer and Libby are happy campers tonight! Wythe, J.C. and Nicholas are getting ready to go to work. Just some of the youth who worked so hard to make this event a success! Thanks to you all! Alex mixes some batter. Alex, Alex and Grant have winning smiles! Banning and Caitlin are having fun tonight! Banning and Lillian cook up some pancakes. Elizabeth, Lillian and Lars are serving up food and fun. Here's Emma, Elizabeth and Lillian - friends forever. Evan is working hard flipping those pancakes! But he takes some time out to enjoy the fruits of his labors! Evan, Caitlin and Banning take on their kitchen duties. Nick serves drinks at the serving table. What in the world is he thinking about?
