Nana's birthday!

We recently had our very first Schmanke family night! We all got together to celebrate Nana's birthday at Bob and Gayla's house. Their basement is perfectly set up for a large group with lots of space and plenty for everyone to do.


Here is Nolan with his idol, Ethan.






















I didn't get great pictures of everyone, but I did get this fabulous picture of the "Brian" family!



























Gayla and Terrilyn lit the candles for the birthday girl. Can you see Ethan trying to sneak a bite?!



















Make a wish, Nana!





















Of course, Maya and Nolan dug right into the cake.


























Yum yum!!













Gotta burn off those cake calories with some exercise!! (That's Brian by the way. I'm sure he's pleased I captured this particular angle...ha!)




















And here is the group playing "I doubt it." Ethan recruited a group to play and eventually most of the family got involved!

















Maya kept track of everyone while sitting on the special bean bag chair that Grampa got for the kids to sit on.

Happy Birthday Nana! We are so glad we got to celebrate with you!!!
