Super Hero For A Day!

I get to be a Super Hero tonight!!  And it's all thanks to my sweet niece who turned 16 on Wednesday.  She chose a Super Hero Costume Party! So fun!  Hunkie has to work so it'll be a 'date' for me and Lil' Hunkie.  At first I thought it would be cute to be Super Aunt but what would I do for Lil' Hunkie? Time to be a little creative.  Mask plus homemade super hero shirt is what I went with!

I simply printed off the word 'super' and a wheel graphic, put those inside the shirt and used a red sharpie to trace and fill in.  Our last name is Wheeler...get it? The Super Wheels!  I try to be clever sometimes!

And to help in party prep I made some super hero bottle cap necklaces and key chains as a favor...

Very easy!

So today is a fun day with a little bit of joyful tears.  My niece is the oldest of the grand kids for my parents and is also the only girl so you can imagine just how special this occasion is! I wrote a nice sentiment on her Facebook wall and made it through without a tear but then I started reading what everyone else wrote and bawled like a baby for a minute!  She's a one of a kind young lady and I'm excited to share in her milestone.  More than likely I'll share more on Soiree Day.

Until then, this is Super Wheel Jennifer saying have a great Friday!

Soiree Day-The Family Reunion

Summer time means at least one thing for my family....The Family Reunion!  Every July my Father's side of the family gathers at Greenleaf State Park.  You can go for the whole weekend or go for lunch on Sunday, since we're not big campers we go on Sunday. 

We enjoyed this tradition over the past weekend and boy was it HOT! I had parked my car under a tree for shade and when we got in to leave it read 108!!  It was good to see extended family though and eat some yummy food!  I didn't get any pictures since Hunkie couldn't go due to work so I had my hands full with Lil' Hunkie who wanted to walk everywhere and play outside, there is a small enclosed building that is air conditioned but it's barely big enough for the clan!

So I made a collage of some pics my sis took on her phone and then added the one and only shot I took...of a beautiful view......

I'm glad she got the middle shot...two fav traditions!!  My Granny's Chicken and Dumplings made by my Dad and my Aunt's Taco Salad.  She is the only person I know that makes this type of Taco Salad and I always look forward to it! Last year she was unable to attend due to being under the weather and my Uncle took up the tradition and made it!  That's how yummy it is!

How do you celebrate the Family Reunion?

Happy Soiree Day!
